TAXED up to the line and told me

to wait until evening, when the air

my first solo.
The first solo flight Is one of
the events in a pilots life which
forever remains impressed on his
memory. 1t is the elimination of
difficult hours of instruction, hard
weeks OF training and often years
of anticipation. TO be absolutely
alone for the first time in the cock
pit of plane hundreds OF feet
above the ground is an experience
never to be forgotten.
After week of practice flights
