First Solo Take-Offs, Landings at Danbury Airport

Video of a flying student taking his first trips up-and-down by himself.

A local flyer getting his pilot’s license performed his first solo take-offs and landings and uploaded the video to YouTube.

Watch from the cockpit as James Barnett take the plane up, turn around and set it down three times.

“Good first and third landing,” he posted with the video. “Ballooned the second slightly but recovered OK.”
