Mid Air Collision near KFRG

[vkc]

Anybody catch the part with the student on his first solo, that'll be a night he never forgets. Glad everyone was ok, ATC handled it well.  The cessna proabbably didnt respond because of the extreme noise in the cockpit from a busted windshield he probabbaly never even heard the controller.

I am the student pilot on my first (aborted) solo in that recording, it's a thrill to watch both planes landing (I was waiting at the hold short line), I'm glad they made it back safely. By the way, I got my solo in a later and uneventful day.

Hey, welcome!

I was impressed at how patient you were with the controller.   You had called ground and requested to taxi back to the ramp and the controller, apparently distracted by the emergency vehicles, replied that he thought you should just return to the ramp rather than attempt to fly at that point.  Instead of getting into an on-air "I just requested that if you were listening" type of response, you simply agreed and requested it again.  Nice, cool communications for your first solo.  Good job.

Thanks for the compliment, just think the controller has enough to worry about and no point in giving them more trouble...

It was indeed a long wait over there, I got stuck in the taxiway with my engine running for 1 hour without even taking off, $$$$$...
