"Have fun, and enjoy. You will only ever get to do your first solo once."
Erm... I did
- First solo in a glider
- First solo in a single seater
- First solo aerotow
- First solo under power
- First solo in a tail-dragger
Every one of them exciting and nerve-wracking.
... then also my first sending solo and my first first solo.
After the "have fun" bit, the last thing I say is actually body language... I walk away confidently carrying my headset & stuff without looking back (at least not until they won't be able to see me watching).
