Virginia Wings Club Awards evening

Although a little bit after the fact, thanks to the Wings Club for their recognition of local aviators and for the award of my PPL and Night Rating Certificate on Wednesday night at a function at the Club.

Birthday fun with my daughter Kate-Lynn and Llewellyn

 

Ayre Aviation's first Awards evening was held last night on my birthday, so it was a fitting celebration as I received my PPL Certificate and wings. I have "recruited" 3 more students for Ayre -  seen in the photos are my NPL Instructor Brad who has also just done his conversion to PPL in the school's Sling, Marc who is busy with his PPL conversion while he is waiting for his Sling on order to be completed, and Llewellyn who is doing his ab initio PPL training with Ayre.

 

Solo awards braai

Enjoying a braai at Light Flight School on Tuesday, Geoff and Noel handed out licence certificates and Solo awards to their students. Thanks guys for my certificate and for getting me this far. The sky's the limit, or is it?
