|  What to write on the solo shirt Anybody got any good ones? I'm looking for more creative than "Initial solo, date, Cfi Me."

| Re: What to write on the solo shirt I like to sketch out the aircraft taking off from the runway the actual solo happened on. Add the pilot sitting in the airplane with a thought bubble coming out with some thoughts like, "Gee it sure rides light when my fatass instructor isn't in here..." or whatever. Maybe you have a running joke with your student?... Well, thats what my instructor did for me, and I am continuing it with my students. Take some time and put in some effort to recognize the student for this accomplishment. Remember what first solo felt like for you? -Adam

| Re: What to write on the solo shirt Had a decent one today... "Three on the ground and two solid go-arounds!" Of course, the go-arounds were traffic-induced (anxiously awaiting kgtu opening the tower), but I thought the joke was good nonetheless.

 I always tried to put something on there that we said a lot, if there was anything.

| Re: What to write on the solo shirt Put something that was funny that happened to you guys, or some tendency you had to break. One of my dudes found some leaky caliper, pushed on the brakes and popped the o-ring spraying that #### everywhere. He was thus dubbed Josh "Brake Buster" Last Name. I actually busted it though, I told him to watch the fluid come out while I pushed the pedal.

| Re: What to write on the solo shirt I usually draw something related to their traits, this one happened to occur on 7/7/07. Recent ones have been Crosswind hunter - never wanted to fly in a calm wind and would call when it was 15g20ish right across the runway bounce - obvious hi-speed taxi - hmmm, slow down blink 172 - said "I'm feeling this" when I was getting out of the plane, flies a 172 I put a LOT of time and energy into these shirts. I don't think I should do any less. This is something people are going to remember forever, so why not spend an hour or two making it something they could frame |
