Completed my first solo last Thursday. My first impression was of the empty space beside me. I was very conscience of doing everything exactly the way I was taught and it worked out fine - even got complimented by the FI on my landing (sez he modestly).
Did four minutes LH orbits at the end of the DW leg awaiting a FlyBe and managed to keep that at circuit height and joined base okay. A great experience that I'll never ever forget. Its my retirement fun (65 y.o) Yipee...
