Gray Beard,

It wasn't like learning everything all over again. I could easily put the plane where I wanted it. However, approaches and landings gave me the most trouble. My instructor (my dad) wouldn't let me solo until my landings were up to his standards, and they are high standards. It took me a while to get in the groove for landing, mostly nerves when the plane gets low and slow. The past month we've been flying off and on, weather permitting. Today the weather was great and we went out to the field. My dad put me through a full tank of buddy box touch and goes, thenrefueled,and he let me solo.

It feels great to be flying again.<br type="_moz" />
