Default I DID IT ! ! ! ! !! ! ! !

I finally got it done---
Hurricanes Charly, Frances,Ivan and Jeanne couldn't stop me ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I finally soloed today- I'm so up it is unbelievable
No one can stop me now
I'm the only flying female in our club- I think the men were just as happy as me this morning.

Congrats Mary! I remember that feeling, and although there will be other highs associated with this terrific hobby, nothing will ever quite compare.

I'm very happy for you!

Way to go!!, now if I can get my wife involved, it would be even better, but at the moment she could care less about the hobby, maybe I could sneek in that 27% Aerowoks Ultimate that I want[>:]

Congratulations Mary!

I would have asked you for your hand in marriage, but my wife would not approve it []. Good luck and let us know how you progress

Now the addiction starts, at least it did for me. As much as I enjoyed learning, once I soloed all I could think about was getting back out there untill I could fly without being nervous. Once I got to that point I had to get another plane or learn something new to get that nervous feeling and then, try and overcome it. It's been quite a few years of that for me .

Congratulations, I think.

Richard,

Yes, there is a certain degree of 'glutton for punishment' involved in this hobby isn't there?



All worthwhile I think.

I was just kidding, I could sing you a solo; however, my voice sounds like a dog with his leg caught in barbed-wire!

I really should sing to Mary! You're too ugly.

Thank you Minnflyer-- I waited all summer to get the solo done- dang Hurricanes kept slapping Florida and ruining my day.

You are welcome[sm=wink.gif] My husband is so proud he is busting- Tells everyone what I did. To all those with ladies that aren't interested- I feel sorry for them (the ladies I mean) They have no idea of the control and thrill there is in this hobby and on top of that- I get alot of attention from all the members of the club not just the men- The women were jealous at first but after seeing that I'm serious about flying and not messing with thier men- they relaxed. My Hubby says he is very lucky to have me.
