Flying
5 May 1982
Why is that man cutting the tail off of my shirt? If you are a pilot you will know the answer.
When you finish your first solo flight, you have your "tails cut". They take a marker and write the date and tail number of the plane you flew your first solo in.
The date of my first solo coincided with the anniversary of my father's birthday. Strange how things happen as he was a big flying enthusiast, though never a pilot himself. That was a long time ago. I have not flown a plane in ages.
No, there is not an airplane stuck in my neck.
