First solo, Feb.18, 1970.
Twr. Cleared for take-off
218. Rolling, closed pattern.
What's that noise? Oh, let's close the window, then. (all over the track) I'm right handed.
Ah, downwind. That rhs looks empty. Sky God !
Twr. 218 extend downwind, Aztec on long final.
218. extend downwind. 218. (Extend downwind? Hmm. Oh. got it.)
Extending. Extending. Extending.
218, Twr. 218?
218, turn base cleared to land 19 R number one.
Three miles out, my first long final.
Lesson? Don't hesitate to ask.
