IFT Solo Flight

My first solo in the DA-20 aircraft! The first of many milestones in the Air Force pilot training pipeline. I've also been fortunate to solo the Cessna 172 and the Cirrus SR-20. This one is by far the lightest and most responsive, but that also makes it trickier to land! (You can see as I float quite a while in the flare)

Congratulations Lt. Happy landings and keep wild Blue Yonder UP.

Today is I day for the class of 2027. Super excited to have my daughter be a part of that class.

It’s crazy seeing how dude went from a maintainer to pilot. Awesome job man

[@80sl-g2p]

Wonderful. Thanks for posting. Aim High, you've got this.

So happy for you. Congrats on this well earned milestone!

I love seeing your progression keep it coming. One cool thing is that I was at Fremont County Airport 2 days ago for an orientation flight. It’s really awesome to see that you were there too

One more question LT…. Is not on the list of personal stuff for Prep S. Bath towels and sandals, do I have to bring those items ? Thank you Sir.

[@WildBlueYonder]

You'll be issued towels and sandals. No need to bring those

Hell yeah man

Nice bro

You might want to reconsider being a pilot, I don't think you have the right stuff!
