SOLO'D Today !!!!
 
Met my instructor at the field today to try to solo, 4 take offs and as many landings...

We were going to buddy box first and practice but for some reason we couldnt get the TXs to buddy up???

I said it must be a sign and I might as well go for it solo!

Pretty uneventfull, my 3rd landing had a little bounce to it but I got it down soft...Kept the prop spinning.

After my 4th landing I got a small round of applause from the guys behind me!!!

I flew a couple more flights then packed it up.. I'll be out again tomorrow...

So I made my 1st glow flight in June and solo'd today..
Now I can fly on my schedule at the club field...


Yahooo !!!!!

Thanks for everyones help!!!

Steve,
Way to go!!!!![sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Now everybody at work next week is going to wonder what that silly little smile on your face is for!!! But we know!!!! Don't worry, it goes away in a few weeks.

A solo flight is a great accomplishment and that wins you one genuine RCU ATTABOY (Suitable for framing, wrapping fish, or lining trashcans).

CONGRATS on your solo. I made my first solo about 2 weeks ago. One thing you will notice at least I did you will burn more fuel now, like you said you can fly whenever, not just when instructor is avalible, after my solo I did a little dance and if I say so myself it was a good little dance. I got the applause and high fives all around and several suggestions of starting a new show called Dancing with dummies, (funny group of old farts I fly with) ha ha I think they were just jealous cause they can't dance like me. I never knew a 40 year old man (41 this Wed.) could feel like a kid again. Congrats again and go burn some fuel
