Memories

As I reached the ‘Hold’ for my first solo the guy on finals declared an emergency, due a shortage of green lights.
My instructor wandered down and got me to shut-down, but to remain there. After 15 min or so the situation was resolved (shortage of lights, rather than shortage of wheels).
I then expected to be given one more dual circuit before going off, to get me back in the ‘groove’ but no. “Off you go”.
Like MPN, my strongest memory is of how well the beast went without the weight of the Instructor! Great day!
