Did I mention I'm planning my cross country to Irving?

You'll do great, that's what all the drilling has been for.

The plane will be oddly quiet without someone else there, it'll climb a little faster, and your plane weighs less, so don't crank the yoke back super hard when flaring.

Good luck. Just relax! That's the most important thing. You CFI knows you can handle it-you should feel confident in yourself too.

Wear a crappy shirt...

And someone put out a NOTAM for airspace around Westfield, IN.

Be sure to wear clean underwear if you're doing something dangerous.

Best of luck. Be sure to let us know how it goes.

Good luck and Congrats

Thanks guys for the well wishes and advice!

I'm looking forward to it. I was supposed to solo this past Saturday, but a thunderstorm popped up just as I got to the airfield. Guess that was better than popping up after I took off.

Anyway, I have just the shirt for the occaision. It's still fairly new, but it's also one I don't like, so it'll do fine.

I'll let ya know how it goes.

As for how low I'll go....

Until the wheels touch the ground. I think they call that a landing.
