A big congratulations to Sam Kasakaitis, who completed his first solo flight on 25th November 2025, flying G-BOIO from Seawing Flying Club, Southend!

A first solo is a defining moment in every pilot’s training—taking off, flying the circuit, and landing entirely alone for the very first time. Sam rose to the occasion with confidence and composure, demonstrating solid flying skills and earning a milestone he’ll remember for life.

The whole Seawing team is proud to share in Sam’s achievement as he continues his journey toward becoming a licensed pilot.

Well done, Sam—your wings have officially taken flight!
