Default It's nice that it's not just me....

I solo'd late last summer. Yahoo.

Quiet day, instructor got out, and the airplane got a lot quieter.

Our sleepy little airport, as I turned downwind and looked, had just gone from (only me) to 5 lined up for departure, and a military trainer doing an approach.

My simple little once more around the patch left my CFI shivering beside the taxiway for a little over 20 minutes. But it is quite a memory.

I'm looking forward to first solo xcountry on the weekend.

Enjoy, and play safe.

Where are you doing your training?

I guess I better update my profile . I moved to the Hill Country about six months ago. Training at ERV, Kerrville, TX. Lots of bumps in and around these hills.

Good luck on the 10. I would ask to partner with you if I still lived there.

Congrats David! The sense of accomplishment after that first solo is pretty spectacular. I soloed 3 years ago and yet I remember every detail like it was yesterday.
