ACMESkydiver 0 #28 January 25, 2006 QuoteStill no pics of the stall. One very KEY point I forgot to mention...as I was taxiing off the runway towards parking to go celebrate, Renton Tower calls me: "Just so you know, that descent looked real good from up here, Warrior 56C." "Thank you, sir! - 56C." It's kinda cool to also be the first female to solo at this newer (1 year in operation) flight school. Me! The first female pilot! This flight school rocks and there will be many, many more women to come after me...but I will forever get to hold the distinction of 'first'. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Kevin asked me if they cut my shirt...I told him that 'nope', they didn't do that...but when I went in to aviation class today, my instructor at the college said he wanted my shirt tail to pin up on the wall. I might spear-head a project to get shirt tails of all of my classmates that have soloed this year. I know of at least 2 others. -And they don't do the deal in aviation...I guess that's just a sky-jumper thing. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

mx757 4 #32 January 26, 2006 QuoteQuoteJaye Now you can put up that SOLO poem I sent you and frame it along with your photo of you in aircraft... Mike I took a copy of it with me! It's in my flight bag, thanks! Solo The Earth rolls beneath my wings, My mind dwells on other things. For as my nose points to the sky, I can’t believe I’m going to fly. The months of waiting over now, My instructor says that I know how. And as the spinning wheels break free, I wish that he were here with me. Higher, higher the tip is lifting, Racing thoughts, my mind is shifting, What’s that he say’s on the rate of climb? I wish we’d had done this one more time. Five hundred feet, its now time to turn, There’s still so much I have to learn. Ease the stick and then the rudder, The trick is not to make her shudder, One thousand feet, stay in the turn, This times there’s not as much concern. Throttle back and trim her out. Seems there’s less to care about. Close down wind check now just in case, Runway on the left someplace? Handle Down, powers set. Oh, God, I haven’t spoken yet. Close down wind I call out with my name, Why no answer? Is this a game? Radio’s set I know its right. Settle down, no time for fright “Gear Down” I say without a doubt. Final turn I can’t break out. Power back she starts to sink, Easy does it, time to think. Two third’s ground, one third’s sky. Jeez, I think I’m a little high. Turning final all most over. Aim at black top not at clover. Hold her level till the last. My! The runways moving fast. Hold the nose up, Gee I’m clever Seems like she wants to fly forever. Thump! I’m down – It feels so good. Nothing to it, I knew I could. Take heart my friend and have a try. For now I know that I can fly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
