As I read this I had to stop and relive my solo I had over 17 years ago, it is still clear to this day, the whole thing. Enjoy the rest of your training and never stop learning.

Take in the happiness, keep that pride of accomplishment with you forever. You’ve earned them both.

I’m a student pilot, I just passed my written and have lots of hours to do in the air yet. I am scared just thinking about my first solo! It helps to hear about what other people experience.

I’m a new pilot — completed my FAA check-ride July 27 of this year. Oh what a feeling!

Good luck to you as you move forward with your solo XCs and ultimately, your FAA check ride. I can tell from reading your “solo story” that you’re going to do just fine! You definitely have what it takes.

Stay safe and have fun up there soaring with the birds!

The experience stays with you for the rest of your life. That day is just as important if not more than the day that you get your license. November 16, 2003 was my day.

Congratulations. And welcome to the small and elite group known as pilots.
