Title: Did my first solo today
Post by: jollyFE on November 03, 2011, 04:25:19 PM

Well, the weather cooperated and I cranked out my first solo today in a 172SP at KFME.  Was nervous initially then ended up having fun.

Exactly the same for me.  It was a Friday evening and I had the controls for about 2 hours.  I was 17 and that is prolly the only thing I remember from that entire year.


Congrats Jolly!
