DAY6

SOLO!!!

Now THAT was fun. Practiced some maneuvers, finished up the pre-solo written, and then my CFI hopped out and gave me the big thumbs up. I'm sure most people feel the same as I did when they solo, but I was happy that it really didn't seem any different than anything I've done with my CFI. As a matter of fact, as I was landing for one of the TnG's I could hear him somewhere in the back of my mind saying, "Hold it back, hold it back, hold it ... Good!" What an awesome and free feeling to fly. Somebody pinch me - I'm flying!

I can't wait until Monday to get back at it again. I'll take tomorrow off (need a break!) and then probably do a long cross country solo on Monday.

Now I just can't wait to get my test finished so I can take my wife up with me. Jeez - I'm giddy like a kid in a candy store! Until Monday...
