Yes I remember that day also, I was on cloud nine! I had to wait so long in my life to get to that point with everything I had to do like get my daughters raised by myself after their mother left. The day I soloed was a very proud day in my life! The biggest problem getting the huge head I had back into the pickup! I am a lifer now in this hobby and have many planes and plans for more, met many great folks, well enough said got to get back on the Spitfire installing the engine now a big Saito. Well we all can hear it in his words, He's hooked!
