CGC
junior hits the big time!
|
|
|
|
I
remember being at RWY12 one day back in Dec'08 when a
young female cadet named Emma John took her first solo
glider flight in a Caboolture Gliding Club L-13
Blanik.
|
|
|
|
It was
her 15th birthday!
|
|
|
|
Emma's
flying career has certainly come a long way since then
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here
is Emma in the photo above taking her first solo in a
PC9 at RAAF Base Pearce (35 ks north of Perth) last
week only 5½ years after that first solo glider
flight at Caboolture.
|
|
|
|
Just a
little step up in training aircraft!

|
This
file photo of Emma (flanked by her proud parents Peter
and Joanne John) was taken on the day that Ranger
Stacey from Channel 10's "Totally Wild"
program did a story on Emma.
|
|
|
|
It was in Oct'09 ... at
the time that Emma had been accepted into the
Australian Defence Force Academy.

Emma!
