 |  First Solo baby! I just did my first solo. It went great, 3 take offs and landings w/full stops. Kinda nervous at first, but as it turned out I think my first landing was the best of all three. I am so pumped right now I feel like I should be running laps or something. Seriously one the best feelings ever. Thanks. -Mike  |

| Re: First Solo baby! Congrats ... look forward to the cross-countries, they're a blast. I greased my third, which was the first of only two greasers in my relatively short flying career. |

You'll know it when you do that. It is basically a landing with no bumps at all from the main gear. You just slide it on to the runway (grease it) and roll out. |

| Re: First Solo baby! One of those landings where you and especially your passengers can't tell that you're already on the ground because it was silky smooth  |

| Re: First Solo baby! One time I had my grandma in the backseat and I was rounding out over the numbers and kinda holding it off and she comes over the intercom.."Wow Brandon nice landing".. "umm, grandma we haven't landed yet".. So I chopped the power yanked the nose up and dropped her in so she would feel it  |
