Congratulations!

I didn my first solo not too long ago, and I still get the same buzz going up alone! (Cessna 152 though!)

Congratulations. I think the balance of the aircraft minus the instructor was the thing I remember most about my solo, too!

It's good that you are itching to get back up again because, and I speak for myself, that buzz doesn't go away!

Enjoy! :D

James Jimmy James,

Heartiest congratulations and welcome to the Club!
In a GT 450, your absence of instructor would be responsible for something like a 25% increase in Thrust-to-Weight ratio; quite an increase in performance.
A day you will forever remember. I trust you had a superb hangover the next morning.

Cheers,

Neppie

Cheers guys, it only dawned on me that I was flying alone on take off but more importantly the landing!! All that extra power on take off was scarily exciting, it threw me right back into my seat, I loved it!!

The beers will certainly be flowing tonight!!

Cheers for all your support!

James
