Default First Solo

Hey yall I finally did my first solo I know it took me a while but with family and all it was hard for me to find time flying, so 4 to/gos in the pattern and I was grinning ear to ear.

Congrats...great feeling, isn't it?! You'll remember your first solo for the rest of your life. I can still remember how light the plane was, and how two out of the three landings were my best...the third one we won't talk about .

Now, wait until you send somebody up to solo for the first time and you feel like a dad watching their kids and hoping you've given them all the tools they need to succeed!!!

Thanks for the comments everyone. One thing I have to say though Even though I do not post much on here this forum has been a very good tool for research and also motivation. Thanks Jet careers and all the fine people that post. A little butt kissing.

Awesome, man. I am going to be doing my solo in a few weeks. I am definitely nervous. I have confidence that I could probably be ok taking the plane up by myself right now, but a few more lessons will help in instill that confidence! I heard you are more focused than ever when you go up for the 1st time. I hope that applies to me as well!
