All that hard work, preparation, study, etc., has given you something you will have to treasure the rest of your life. And now I know why you so carefully prepared your landing area.
And we all thank you for sharing your great adventure with us earthbound mortals!
Wow! Awesome...did I hear your instructor call you "Maverick"?
Great production values in this little flick too. It's stomach-churning when the sound of the motor drops down...like you are going to plummet to earth. Yikes!
