Very well done. It's a very strange feeling, flying solo.

Youve cleared the first hurdle, So very well done, you should be proud of yourself

Congrats

So how many hours did it take ? (just KIDDING !! ... don't answer !!

I see you're "only" 16, wish I had started at that age (did my ppl in my mid 40's !)

Planning on an aviation career? (maybe another question that you shouldn't answer

Congratulations jxc,

Wait until your first X-Country solo. Now then you'll be buzzing!

I love watching them come back in with a grin so wide they're permanently disfigured after it!

Crack on!

definitely feels good knowing that your life is in your own hands and quieter faster and more relaxing i found than having the instructor next to me
