First Solo, I finally Did It!

[DenverDude2002]

After 3 weeks of delays and 51 hours of flying since March, i finally did my first solo today . It went great, only a 5 knot crosswind, and 80 miles visibility. After I landed I got a "good job" from the tower to.

CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !​

I guess that I get to be the first one to say well done. I remember my first solo like it was yesterday and it was 38 years and 12,500 hours ago. Fly safe and have fun.​

​

Oops, when I started to post there were no replies. Oh well, let me be one of the first dozen or so to congratulate you.​

My first solo was only 30 years ago, but I remember the excitement, the slight tinge of fear, and the astounding climb capability of 5309Q, a mighty Cessna 150 with faded blue paint and the subtle smell of avgas and sweat.

My Lord, that was a great day!

My most sincere congratulations--and keep on learning!

Solo

Hey,

Congratulations on the solo, it's got to be a good feeling. Were you nervous? How did you make the nerves disappear? I hope to be there sometime in the next week or so! Fun! So have you started to plan the cross country yet?

Solo

I still remember my first solo from twenty-two years ago! You, too, will never forget it. There is nothing quite like your "first time."

Good luck with the rest of your training. Be sure to tell us about your first solo cross-country.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. I will for sure be finishing up my PVT, ratings above that probably not, maybe IFR. Originaly I was going to fly as a career but now its going to be an excuse to take the fiance flying on the weekends. Her parents live about 700 miles from where we are moving to and with DL pulling out of DFW airfares will go sky high to where she lives, I figure it will give us an excuse to fly down for the weekend. Its an exiciting time, I'll get my PVT, a week later moving to DFW to start my life with my wonderful fiance, 3 weeks after that starting college,working on a 4 year degree.


Speaking of which, anyone know anywhere in the DFW area that rents Pipers (preferably older Archer 2's) besides the school in Denton?

every post you talk about your wife dude, that is funny as sh!t. you still talk on the phone 5 hours a night? lol

I remember when you had a picture of you and her in your avatar thingy, that was funny... can you bring that back? It's too bad you won't go to the airlines, because i just love flying with guys who talk about their wife the whole time.

Dude you are a comic genius, keep em comin.

 

[RRF985]

Congrats on your solo!!!!

 

[DenverDude2002]

And, despite what others might say, you're smart to earn your degree. Good luck with school.
