CCPL Jack Ryan-Boyd from 215SQN during an weeklong AVN course at RAAF Amberley achieved his circuit solo this morning.
Other AVN cadets welcomed him ‘back to earth’ with a ‘guard of honour’ and ovation and cheers after the flight.
His instructor Chris Hardy is a former CUO from 218 SQN and is currently a private jet pilot. Chris also gained his powered flying training and ‘solo’ qualification from the 2WG School of Aviation back in 03/04.
