This thread celebrates any noteworthy milestones along the path of your aviation career, whether that be private or commercial to be set in internet eternity forever more. I look forward to updating this thread regularly.

As and when achievements are posted on the forum or PMed to me, I will update this thread in the most timely fashion possible. If I miss something do let me know.

Here's hoping for a bumper year of First Solo, Qualifying Cross Country and PPL Skill Test notifications :thumleft:

Not just restricted to ab initio, those gaining additional ratings, differences training, qualifications and indeed licences are welcome to join the 2017 wall of fame. In 2016 we had 49 entries in a record breaking 21 categories
That included, a.o., 20 first solos, 16 first licences issued ... and a 777 type rating!

Let's see if we can break that record in 2017!

Nice ;^)
I think it could be nice to add anniversaries. Maybe not 5 or 10 years, but 25 and 50 are worth listing I'd have thought.

Or maybe it should be another thread on the main GA forum - some of the stalwarts may not come into the students forum often and we'll miss out on contributors and readers?

Wow! 5 years sounds like there may be a story behind which would merit a separate thread - well done Sir!

So far a cracking start to the year with 4 licences in January alone! Keep them coming!
