NZFF

Since this is a relatively significant milestone for me I would like to share this video with you guys, I hope you enjoy it, I did!

You will hear as we are parked to do run ups, the DC3 Dakota make a line up call, which ended up approaching to turn final about the same time that we completed the pre-solo circuits; just as we were on short final it called reporting the same. I know now what dreams are made of.

Great stuff Kelvin, well done mate
Was a bit puzzled at first as to why there were two of you in a solo flight, until the instructor jumped out an left you too it at 5mins in

Awesome video congratulations, must be a buzz

Congratulations Mate, you still must be buzzing

Well done dude ....awesome stuff.

Thanks for the comments guys. I keep replaying the (raw) footage and critiquing myself where possible to develop precision in my flying. This one had some crosswind so going solo in it was quite a buzz, and this is probably an understatement.

Don't worry Barry ... same here .. and me .. really happens quite often !

Great job. Always good to see simmers moving into the real world

Well done Kelvin! It's a good feeling alright!

Good work! Brings back memories from mine. I wish it had been as simple as yours haha, but with one go-around and then a change of runway.... well it was an experience!

Thanks, I did multiple touch and go's but it would have been a little repetitive and the fact that Youtube will only take 15 minute videos unless you pay for more.
