I'd not want to be his CFI tonight...

He may have been ready to solo, but got the jitters at the last moment.

OK, as I've said before, I've not had a formal lesson yet, but I bet all
the money in my wallet he would have powered to the runway had he not been
"warned".

He was probably coming in low, started to reconize it and perhaps even
started to ad power a little power, or at least was mentally thinking in
that direction. Being nervious to begin with, he REALLY freaked out when
all the guy's on the ground started yelling at him on the radio and was
conviced by the warnings that he was even lower than he was.... panicked,
pulled up instictivly, and stalled.


Now, there's less then $20 in my wallet :-) so that's about how conviced
I am of my theory. But that's how I visualize it.
