First Solo Flight - 7/2/2009

Technically my first flying lesson occurred on 5/29/2008.  It was a short .7 hrs on the hobbs meter.  After that I had a few life events I needed to get in order and I started my training in earnest on 11/7/2008. Over the next 18 months or so (which should have been 4 or 5 - hey, I'm slow) there were some fits and starts with airplane maintenance and instructor availability which added to the delay.  Over the 18 months I flew in 3 or 4 different aircraft.  The airplane in these pictures is an Evektor SportStar.  Unfortunately the plane is no longer as it suffered a total loss on 6/14/2012 (​aviation-safety.net/wikibase/146324) from another student/instructor - fortunately everyone is o.k.  Over my training time I flew the Evektor, a Remos and a Gobosh.  Thanks to my CFI Dennis Moss for getting me to this point.
