Solo!

I had my first solo Tuesday! I knew in advance so Mom and Dad and everybody came out to watch. The first solo is the first time you get to fly the airplane with nobody in it apart from yourself. It was much more exciting and scary than I thought it would be!


It was strange and very exciting to see the empty seat next to me, and it was more scary than I would have thought to know that Damian wasn't there to catch any mistakes I might make.

It was one of the coolest things I've ever done! After I landed the ground controller asked me over the radio if this had been my first solo, I told him yes and he congratulated me and told me I had done a great job.

My instructor Damian with me after the flight. It was amazing!
