Congrats!! Keep knocking off the milestones, don't think too much about the destination, and enjoy the ride. What were you flying? What did you notice?

It is something you will never forget.

All the best, and remember to think before you do anything in an airplane.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

yes it is. and most importantly it was the best landing ive done so far, probably because there wasnt anyone beside me telling me 100x to line up with the centre line while on final approach.. lol :D

as i said, that's the best tribute, not having a nagging instructor, but it's all those nags that enforces your ability to do it properly on your own ;)

Congrats! Having been on both sides of the fence, I can tell you that the first solo as the pilot is just as nerve wracking as your first solo sent as an instructor!

Thats awesome, enjoy the rest of the ride!
