Congratulations
AWA have recently had not one, but two new students successfully pass their skill test and gain their PPL's in December 2007. Well done to David Graham who passed on 11th December and congratulations to Wayne Martin who only just beat the end of year by passing his test on 29th December. They were both presented with their wings at the New Year buffet held in the club on Sunday 13th January. Click their pictures for some highs and lows of how they finally got there.

1st August 2007, another student has taken his 1st solo, well done to Kevin Burnside for joining the ranks of aviators. Good work by Damion Richards for preparing Kevin for his solo achievement.

A great achievement from our youngest student, Alex Williams, on Tuesday 10th July he finally beat the weather and managed to complete his 1st solo. Alex celebrated his 16th recently and has been waiting for three weeks for the weather to be kind to him. He has had his last 5 lessons cancelled due to bad weather and this prevented him from going solo on his 16th birthday. He quickly followed this achievement by following up his success and taking to the air again the next day and completed another 4 circuits solo, Well done Alex.

Well done to David Graham for achieving his 1st solo on Tuesday 3rd July with Bob Bowles. Keep up the good work and lets all hope to see you continue to your PPL.

Also well done to Damion who has been instructing David, I believe this was his 1st student who has gone solo? May be you can let me know Damion.
