First solo flight. One of the biggest holidays in the life of every pilot, not only the military

First solo flight.
One of the biggest holidays in the life of every pilot, not only the military, but in general any, is of course the first independent flight. It's not even a holiday, it's a starting point for before and after. After the pilot has studied the theory of flight, aerodynamics, navigation, memorized his aircraft, engine, all instruments and units in it, learns to talk in the air, learns how to act and what to twist and close, if something is in it the letable got fucked, learned to eject and fly on a parachute, if the letable is no longer a flyable, and also studies the traffic situation in the area of the airfield and at the training ground, code-named "Instructions for Flight Operations", and also pretends to whack himself a couple of times on the simulator, he is finally stuffed at aircraft and begin to learn to fly. At first, he will simply be stupid in the cockpit, studying the numerous toggle switches, switches, skewers and alterations, finding them with his eyes closed, then he will learn to start and turn off the engine under the sensitive chap of his native shkrab. And only then he will rise into the air with an instructor. And if everything goes well, he will "see" the ground, feel the leveling height, learn to land, fly to land with deviations that his favorite scrub rejects, and fix all this with normal landings, only then will he be allowed to take off himself. It is at this moment that a pilot is born. Not a bayonet yet, not a fighter, but a pilot. And when retraining for each new type of aircraft, this whole long road to the first independent flight is repeated. Every time is like the first time.
After the departure of the cadet, they hit the counter with their ass in order to fix the overload, and where it is problematic to get to the counter, they hit the number. The number of strokes is equal to the tail number of the letable if it is up to 9, and the sum of the digits in the number, if more. Well, then you know, whitefish, glades, skrab makes another notch on his ZSH with a nail ... 😉
On the video Kazakhs. Of course, it was possible to lay out ours, but there you get tired of rubbing numbers and faces, so the Kazakh brothers. Thanks to them, by the way, for this wonderful vidos.
