Default First landing

It wasn't quite a solo, but not far from it. I started the takeoff roll and it got a little screwy, so the instructor took over. However, a mere 10 seconds later, she was mine again. I did some figure eights and around, a few low passes. I had decided that I didn't want to shoot the landing myself, but that I would line it up on final and get it set up. I just kept flyng it, and was waiting for it to get taken back over, and I kept hearing a few minor instructions, and next thing I know she was down and stopped, engine still running. Much to my surprise, I was informed that the buddy trigger was held the whole time. My first landing!!

It was a smooth one too!
