The story of two Global Nomads and their time in China.

Luke - First Solo at JTFA (the force was with him)

Yesterday was an exciting day at JTFA - we had our first ever solo flight by a student! The first solo is a momentous occasion - the student is alone in the cockpit for the first time. Other than communication with the air traffic controllers, they are on their own! Luke's first solo consisted of flying a circuit around the airport - the traffic pattern - and making several landings. He made two touch and go's - touching down on the runway and then taking off again - and three circuits of the airport.

Once he had taxied and parked the aircraft, he practically floated over to the group waiting for him. There is still a lot of training to complete before he will start working for the airlines in China, but he is one step closer!
