Very glad to get this text message this past Wednesday evening. We can keep track of our son's daily schedule and what specific training events are planned for the day. The preparation for his first solo had to be restarted this week because of bad weather last week. Before soloing for the first time, the trainees must have a check flight with an instructor to certify they are ready. Because of the weather, the maximum time window allowed between the check flight and solo was exceeded, so another check ride this week and hope for good weather in the next three days. Success in the skies for both. Without knowing that his cell phone was not working caused some worry on my part when there was no confirmation of good weather for flying or a successful flight (and landing) more than four hours after the scheduled one-hour time for the solo. The marvels of internet and cellular technologies - imagination fills the voids in time.
Luckily I didn't know what time his flight was scheduled for that day or I would have been waiting by the phone a little worried, too!
