T-38 SOLO

T-38 Solo
I got to go and be apart of David's first solo flight in his new plane. 

This is him at his peg getting his G-suit on
 His peg:
  Riding the truck to the plane:
  There must be wings on the plane at all times; since David hasn't received his yet it's customary to borrow the instructor's wings:
  Walking out to his plane:
These two were my escorts for when David was no longer with me. Since I don't have security clearance to be on the flight line by myself these gentlemen offered to stay with me :)

  Getting ready for take off

Take off:
He had a great flight and soloed again the following day and the next day after that :)
I'm a very proud Air Force wife!
