Excitement time.

Had a call from a very excited granddaughter last evening, she had completed her first solo earlier in the day. We are all very excited and proud.

Seems that getting up and down was the easy part, a combination of excitement and nerves had granddaughter having trouble parking [or whatever it’s called in the industry] the plane, almost clipped the wing of another.

All going well there will be another solo today, sounds like they work on the incentive plan down there, do well in theory class and you get to fly.

"Does Newfoundland take Labrador seriously?"
Well no, but there will be other input as that is the topic on today’s CBC radio Noon’s Cross Talk at 1 pm Labrador time and 1.30 the other fellas time.

Also being reported today: The Nunatsiavut Government has announced that president William Andersen III has temporarily stepped down for personal reasons. First minister Tony Anderson will step up as interim president.
