Happy birthday mate!

I hope you have some fun times during your solo, I know I did! :-D

Ha! When I read the title for this post I figured one of you guys had gotten busted for picking up jail bait. Good to hear everyone's keepin' it legal (for now).

Blow off your brothers soccer tournament, go solo instead! Much more fun, and rewarding, and it sounds like you've worked towards this for while!

Congrats on the upcoming solo, and be sure and let us know how it went for you!

Happy Birthday man, and good luck on the solo!

Happy Birthday, and good luck on your solo. 16; man I feel old.

 

[Catbert]

Good luck!

May I assume you are doing this with Beth Ann and her crew? Possibly in one of the Tomahawks?

Surely there's not enough room in a Tomahawk to do it with Beth Ann and her crew? Would love details though........

I know it's a cliche, but I just spit my drink all over my laptop while reading that. Funny stuff.

And no, that's not what I meant.....

or is it?

Just remember...pull back to make the houses smaller and push to make the houses bigger.

nope. the one CFI that is worthy at adventure flight center Luis Zelaya. He has been the best flight instructor out of 3 or 4 that I have had. Started with beth but her prices just became too high and it was much more business oriented there instead of laid back like advnt. you know you go to the right school when you find yourself going to hang out with the CFIs and lounge around the airport all day when you have no money to spend.

If you can resist the temptation to scream for joy, out loud, during your solo, you'll be a better man than me!

Way to go, you'll always remember your solo.

Make sure you don't have a hot mic.....



Congrats! After my solo, my instructor couldn't write on my shirt for a while because it was too wet. However you will quickly come to love that rocketship-like climbout and the sudden gain of gobs of room.

*sigh* I only have 151 days 13 hours 49 minutes and 21 seconds till I turn 16, I'm ready.

I'll trade with you.

Going solo is kind of like having sex for the first time.
Here are the stages:
You know it's going to happen and you are kind of nervous and excited at the same time.
You start doing it, and you think it is going pretty smoothly but it seems to end as quickly as it started.
Then you get the "Hey I did it" grin going and it will become one of those memories that will last a lifetime.

Goodluck and Happy Birthday! (don't get her pregnant errr, I mean don't crash)

It sounds like you picked the right place. Ditch your brother's soccer tournament and "Git 'er done". You'll never forget it or regret it. Best of luck from another that soloed at 16.
