Guess what I did yesterday!

First of all, congrats to Thumpango on going solo:D

Did my first solo x-country yesterday!!!! I was soooo nervous though, only managed a few hours sleep the night before.

Got to Naples (KAPF) at 7:00am, filled in my flight plan, got the weather brief, signed out the aircraft, pre-flight etc.......all without an instructor in sight!!!! First time I've felt like a "proper" pilot;)

The actual flight (KAPF-KPHK-KAPF) was a little dull really, didn't get lost, maid all the right noises, and did 5 greasers at KPHK:eek: Flight time 2hrs 06mins, apprx 130nm.
Can't wait for next weeks 3hr 'triangle' flight.

Finally starting to believe I can be a part of the aviation world:D

Congratulations on your first solo x country!

Now that really is flying solo - away from your home airfield.
I appreciate how you felt the night before, I was the same because I knew solo was very close!.

Sounds like you are well on your way to that licence, good luck to you and thank you for your congrats too.

Can't find Naples in Pooleys......:confused:

Sounds like it could be up North to me.:D

Anyway, well done mate and keep up the good work.
