Spongebob went solo

Postby Spongebob » Thu May 18, 2006 7:07 pm

Finally, after several hours of attempting to overcome "groundrush" I managed to do it.

Went solo today at Microland. Another student who went solo a couple of days ago asked if I had a tear in my eye, cause he did after his solo. I had to reply honestly that I did not, but only cause I did not want Sn*t on the inside of the helmet visor.

Congratulations Spongebob!
I heard you this morning, and your instructor coaching you from the ground. I was training nextdoor at Bapsfontein.
