Default I did it....SOLO!!!!

WOW!!!

My first solo. What else can I say. You all have to remember the feeling it brought you right. I'm on cloud nine now. I will be on it for a while to. I did two flights, all alone, ground work, taxi, take off, flight time, and landing...on the runway too I was a bit nervous, but after I made my first few turns, I was settled down.

I trained on the cord, with a flight instructor for 3 weeks, @ about 12 flights. That is all the difference in the world. I've seen people go at it alone, or with just a simulator....and well not so well. I can't stress enough how important a good instructor is. I'll be back it in the morrow, weather permitting. Thanks for all of the advice from members of this board, and good luck to the people taking to the sky for the first time solo like me.

Hello blue sky....I'm here.
