Cool

I first solo-ed at age 31 and after 21hrs! My landing was almost the best I have ever done - a real "kiss down". It couldn't have been a more perfect moment, the sky was blue, the sun shining, no sheep on the runway (yes I learned at a grass strip!) and over the radio came many voices congratulating me! It was the best, happiest, most exhilarating experience!
