[MikeSamuel]

Just been solo for the first time!!! :) Feels completely surreal at the moment, but I'm getting used to being a captain <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> This smile will last for weeks :) :) :) . .Thanks to all at PPRuNe for your help and advice since I started out here, wouldn't be typing this without you!. .5 hours, 20 minutes - not bad if I do say so myself! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Regards,

Mike

Well done Mike ...... I remeber when I did mine a couple of years ago. My little 152 felt huge without the instructor sat next to me!!!!!

All the best for the future mate.

Well done Mike!

Nothing like it is there? Welcome to a very exclusive club - you have just taken off, flown a circuit and landed – all on your own.

I’m told by a BA 744 driver (who should know) that the only thing better than 1st solo is your first take-off in a 747. Enjoy that feeling! <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
