While I'm at it... On this day... 1989, August 21
Next year it will be 40 years since my soloflight in an ASK-21 glider but 35 years ago I made my first soloflight in a fixed-wing aircraft.
Made on a sunny day at EBAW, IP Instructor Pilot was George Styl and the little aircraft was a Socata Morane-Saulnier Rallye 115 , registration OO-CBL, built in 1969.
