That ain't nothin...why back when I was a 14 year old girl....wait, what was the question again?

Seriously....Kudos to the young lady for setting her goals higher than texting and chatting and achieving those goals.

Congrats to her on an awesome achievement. Hopefully she goes on and adds to the training.

I made a mistake. 3 Planes and one helo.... All solos, one day.

They had all the planes lined up and ready for her. Off she went....

Imagine what must be going through her mind with approach speeds, rotation speeds, etc, for 3 different planes...! alone in the plane..

... Confidence in herself, that she can do it!

... Her Mom and Dad are both pilots, so she knew flying even when she was still in her mother's womb

Yes, it is still 16, LD...
That is why she flew solo in Canada!
She could not do a solo here in Florida!
