My instructor right, and Ryan Short left
Soloed on my 16th birthday.
I was also the guinea pig for Ryan's new camera, so he stuck it on the sunvisor during my solo. I was humming "The Final Countdown" during the duration of the flight, and yes, you can hear it.
I will post the video from the cockpit-cam as soon as my instructor uploads it.

Grats Mr Pilot.

Gratz, what an awesome present!
Should talk to your instructor about getting one of those tail-mounted external settups with a wide lense so he can watch your control surfaces during the flight.
-
Thanks so much guys for all the birthday wishes.

Way to go, not able to watch Utube at work. Did someone get video of your instructor? It's a flight you will never forget, check rides will come and go, but that first landing solo. Very cool. I still remember my first solo and even though the instructor was standing on the ramp, I could still hear him talk me through each climb, bank and airspeed change, and his "that's was pretty good, do it again."
