24 years ago and remember it like it was this morning, despite 'firsts solos' on many other types.

Cessna 150 out of Norwich - Initially a little surprised when the instructor got out and told me to stay! The little aeroplane and I wandered to the end of the runway, we lined up and I applied power. The aeroplane, being a Cessna, knew what to do and we were airborne before I really had time to come to terms with it. It was then I realised I was really solo and, more to the point, I had to land it. Very strange with no-one next to you. All over far too quickly, but the memory lasts for ever.

Like so many things...

Well done to you. Hope it leads to more.
