Gabby's Progress Report

Hey Bev, happy Friday!

I just wanted to give you an update, we are on to circuits

I really enjoyed it, it’s so much in a short 5 minute period but it’s really good to learn all the steps from take off to landing and Jimmy said my last landing was an 8/10 so I’m pretty happy with that because I definitely find landing the hardest! But he’s been really good with helping me with my placement and all the landings I have done have been on the runway so that’s a bonus! Here’s a pic I took from last weekend

“I DID IT! I went solo AHHHH! It was the best feeling ever,

I was so nervous when Jimmy said he was getting out but I did it and it and landed with myself and the plane in one piece thank you so so much Bev and Rod for this opportunity. Best day ever! ”
