|  First Solo!!
I did my first solo today and it was pretty f*****g awsome. I was doing pattern work and my IP just said "you wanna do it on your own." Next thing I know, he's on the tarmac and I'm sitting in the plane by myself. I did a couple of trips around the airport and everything went great; It felt nice being up there by myself. It was an awesome experience, although, now that it's over I do feel a slight draft at my back . . .  . |

Nice! You'll have lots of flights that fade out of your memory, but your solo never will.

The cockpit is a lot bigger now, isn't it?!
Next solo, do a low level inverted supersonic flyby! Chicks dig that!
