T6 Harvard Solo

Apart from the birth of my daughter, passing P Company and a ride in the Spit... Nothing has come close to my first solo in the T6 Harvard on the 31/04/14... Quite amazing!! Having completed 3 satisfactory 3 pointers in nil wind on the Tarmac at duxford I did another on the grass rnw 24... To my shock and amazement Glen Fricker my instructor told me to park up and prepare for a solo!' 

Although I knew I could do it... I couldn't help thinking of the previous 15 hours of disastrous landings however now the penny seemed to have dropped.. The doubt was in my mind that the last 4 landings may have been a fluke!!!?!!! 

Any way I took the bull by the horns and went for it.. The sense of achievement was unbelievable as I settled back down on 3 points.. And stopped on the runway which was a bonus!

The next day I went back to wheel landings as I know they are the way forward but I hit another brick wall... I identified that I was not looking in the right place on landing so on the 2nd April I practice for 45 minutes in a 10 knot cross wind and nailed them all!! 

It seems now the penny is starting to drop however I know not to underestimate the T6 as she can bite back when abused or mishandled!
