I edited in two shots of Chris LeFave (green flight suit) so viewers could get a sight picture of the approach from the GoPro mounted on the strut. Crotch view from cockpit: this scene was when I decided I was going around and I shook my head, then looked over and told the guys on the taxiway I was going around. It is so quiet, I was hoping they heard me but my first priority was to land safely, so I was concentrating on whatever that took. Then my landing &#8211; Again I had too high a power setting but when I finally had it where I wanted it I pulled power and it landed nicely! It really was easy and smooth. I had been briefed to carry a little power and not try to make it fly without airspeed, so I erred on the side of speed. It was intense, and my heart was beating pretty hard (my first solo without having had instruction in a two-seater first) &#8211; hence the head shake at the end&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lindbergh\u2019s cousin Rich supplied keyboard sounds with his band Galactic, a New Orleans ensemble.<\/p>\n<div id=\"facebook_like\"><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fcafe.foundation%2Fblog%2Fyuneec-returns-to-america-as-greenwing%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=500&amp;action=like&amp;font=segoe+ui&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:500px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the direction of CEO Tian Yu, Yuneec International is back in the U.
