Ahhh! First solo...

Post by KevinC »

Fortunately an uneventful solo.  Dry mouth at the end.... and the landings were not pretty :oops: .  But it is finally done. I can finally say it is mine.

Damn, that thing really jumps off the ground without another soul aboard!  :D   This is really going to be fun!!

When I die, please let me go peacefully in my sleep - like my grandfather...and not screaming and crying like the passengers in his airplane!

Congrats Kevin,
Your first flight solo is the best!  I have a different problem than yours, I can´t land without bumps with two people, when I fly solo it is better!  I am thinking on changing the name to my Highlander to "bumplander" (hehehe),  but my instructor (Lynn) says this is normal at the beggining.  I really hope so.  If not I´ll need a chiropractic (Sp???)  for my back in the future.   :wink:  :P  :shock:

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.

I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.
