Well done, Karl.
I've watched the video and, even though it induced my first ever bout of airsickness, it's a wonderful thing to have. I only have pictures of my first solo in my head, they're as clear and sharp as ever even after 19 years, but they are only in my head.
Now, I'm as good at gun jumping as the rest of them but youth is about making mistakes and learning from them, hopefully we've all learned enough to understand that. Thankfully I let Whirlybird post first (if I had the money I'd employ her to do my thinking for me) so now I can only say well done - both for the solo and for standing up to the comments on Pprune.
Sixteen and he's heard of Sinatra (watch the video) - can't be all bad folks.
