I'd say 'good luck' but, as I know you're going to ace it luck doesn't come into play.

Let us know about how great it was after you land  :aok

Golfer..  :lol

Just dont try and do anything stupid. For instance my first solo I reallly reallly wanted to do some celebratory stalls but just dont.  :lol

That and remember your checklists. Utilize them.

Good Luck and we are all counting on you.

the bottom part of the shirt is in the hangar at the airfield but I had everyone sign the rest of it and then framed it.

The ironic part is its a ZephyrHills skydiving tshirt.  :D :ahand

I remember what my instructor told me, and I will tell you...


...once you leave the ground, you are the only one who can land that plane...

Good luck.  What a great experience it must be to be in your position.  Land it gently.  :salute

Good luck!

Unlike many, I was lucky in the fact that I wasn't nervous. I knew I could do it and was as confident as if the Instructor was there with me. You will do fine. Your first landing will either be horrible or great (mine was awful, I landed on the nose wheel and got a good bounce, plane feels different with only one body in it).

You know you're capable of doing it - if you weren't, the CFI wouldn't send you up. Just keep that in mind.  :rock

Relax and enjoy it.

That's why you started this in the first place, right?

Have fun. :aok
