July 24/19 – Glenn first solo, Gary another flight
What an successful evening. Garry went on a second very long flight. Glenn got his first solo done and Ben has visited for some fun flying. Two people in this course, one person first solo after two days and the second person in three days. That is pretty good – I am very happy about that. The pressure is off.

July 23/19 – Gary first solo on day 2
We did ground handling this morning but the wind was light and variable. It was somewhat productive but not great.
Midday break from 12 noon till 4 PM then more ground handling.
Whind picked up so it was very nice for reverse and both Garry and Glenn progressed a lot. Gary eventually started to work with the motor and practiced power on taxing. He was so good and the conditions were so perfect that I gave him the go ahead to fly and and he did…
It was perfect takeoff excellent Flying and pretty good landing but like most students did end up on his knees.
Congratulations Gary on your first solo flight. Accomplished in just two days of training. You are above average. Glen will follow shortly.
Excellent day
July 23/19 – It has been challenging
It has been very challenging start of this season. I was facing some incredible weather, lots of rain, very high and unpredictable winds and grass that was growing out of control. I was also hindered by an ongoing health issue, my right ankle is starting to give me a hard time – an old injury is coming back to hunt me. There was some other challenges on other levels but it is all behind me now so I am back at full swing. I may not be able to post updates as often as I did before, it just takes too much time and it doesn’t seem to make too much of a difference. Stay tuned for more.
