A huge well done to Dan Smith, who completed his first solo flight on 9th October 2025, flying G-BHZF from Seawing Flying Club, Southend!

That first solo flight is a defining milestone in every pilot’s journey—taking off, flying the circuit, and landing entirely on your own for the very first time. Dan handled the experience with calm confidence and precise flying, marking a moment he’ll remember for life.

The entire Seawing team is proud of Dan’s achievement and excited to see him continue progressing toward his PPL.

Congratulations, Dan—your wings have truly taken flight!
