Well done mate, a huge achievement

On my first solo the instructor casually said "wanna go solo?"
after a few half decent circuits and 10 hrs ish in the log book.
I said "YES PLEASE!" but I havn't paid my full club membership fees yet. Reply.......pay if you make it back and with that he wandered off to the sidelines to watch.
Was tiny bit strange and adrenaline was flowing during engine checks but once cleared for takeoff was all routine. Bloody Tomahawk went up like a rocket and I thought I was doing something wrong but quickly realised that without a second bod it climbs much faster. Half decent landing and a pat on the back from ATC.

Well done again
