1st solo

I had a slot booked for the day on my 16th birthday, with my airlaw and medical under my belt and enough hours plus the words if you were 16 now I could have sent you solo, the was a chance i could solo on my 16th birthday, all I had to do was prove I was ready and competent to my instructor, like sum1 else mentioned about messing up, when he said make this to land, cause I want to get out, I messed up that landing cause of nerves! But after the go around and next approache everything was A-OK and we stopped by the edge of the runway and he got out! I had to wait 4 hours for the wind to die down and change direction, although in the end there was a slight x wind
