Another great day

Well for me anyway as I did my first solo yesterday

What a mixture of emotions that entails.

Onwards and upwards. As Peter said, you never have to worry about money again because you won't have any to worry about.

Cheers

It was totally unexpected and far more enjoyable than I thought it would be as I thought the underlying fear would overpower the excitement but it turned out to be the reverse.

Many Congrats Wierdfish

Best feeling in the world isn't it! (If also the scariest !)

Yes it is

I got another 30 minutes solo time in today so I was pleased to see it wasn't a one off more luck than judgment moment on Wednesday.

There, you see, Weirdfish, your instructor was quite correct in his judgement that you are now safe on your own! And extremely sensible (also lucky with the weather) that you did two in a row, that is called reinforcement and is absolutely vital! so splash the cash now, as soon as ever you can, and your learning curve will ascend exponentially!

Happy landings!
