It is my great satisfaction that after four years since I first laid my hands on the commands of a flying machine, I passed all necessary examinations and officially became a soaring pilot.
It took longer than it should, primarily because of my work and restless spirit, but I was determined to make this childhood dream a reality and one day soar the skies on my own.
Pictured is the glider I took the final test on and also my first solo flight, Blanik L-13, The Phantom of the Sky, joined by my class of pilots and our instructors.
I have accumulated around 45 hours of flying, and I am looking forward to getting that number over 100 soon.
There is little in life that can compare to achieving your dreams. After all that is the whole point of living. Luckily I have couple of more, so it will stay exciting

Congratulations on your soaring! I’ve just listened to the Wordcast podcast in which you were interviewed and rushed “over here” to find out more about you — what fun!
Thank you for making the contributions to the Wordpress world. I’m glad that you are gaining a few rewards for yourself along the way.

Congrats!! It must have been a rush. When my son was 18 and the day after he graduated from High School he took me up for a plane ride. Just a year and a half earlier I was teaching him to drive a stick shift for a car. Amazing…

Congratulations! I can only imagine how grand it must feel to soar through the sky like that. Many safe landings to you.

Congrats Vladimir! That is quiet an accomplishment! I have to admit, I would not get in such a small plane if you paid me. I’m afraid of heights.

Congrats! I know how it feels, and its well worth all the effort, even if it has taken 4 years. Wish you many years of safe and happy flying!
