Solo again...

[C]

At last, after just over two years I've gone solo again in one of these beasties...

Its fun when you have 1050hp to play with!

[Hagar]

Ah, so you did it. Makes a nice change to have some good news.

Well done old chap. I'm proud of you.

[beaky]

I'd be proud, too-  if I weren't so envious. I hate you...
but you're OK, I guess.

[Mobius]

Hey Charlie, Do you mind if I ask what you do?

I have been trying to figure it for a while now.



Cool shots by the way.

[Whitey]

Wow, that's cool!

I've only been solo in C-150s with 100hp and a C-150A with 130hp...lol.

What plane is that?

Congrats man!

[Hai Perso Coyone?]

Congratulations Charlie!!  :)

[Fly2e]

Very Cool Charlie!

Congrats!!

[Whitey]

What plane is that?

Congrats man!

That's a Tucano.  It's an RAF advanced trainer, used just before the pilots go onto the Hawk.

[Jared]

Wow! Cool mate! Congratulations!

Looks like it would be a fun plane to fly!

[C]

Thanks guys. As Whitey says its a Tucano, a license built version of the original Embraer design, with a better engine and modified to become more similar to the Hawk...

Its a very nice aeroplane to fly - its nice to be able to tootle along at 240kts (the fastest I've had it solo so far!)

[Craig.]

Congrats Charlie:)

[Ivan]

Wow, that's cool!

I've only been solo in C-150s with 100hp and a C-150A with 130hp...lol.

Ask someone with a Yak for a ride... starts at 360hp

Congratulations !!!!  :D

modified to become more similar to the Hawk...

Now i thought the RAF technical term for the tucano was 'bodged'
