I went solo!
Hey guys, soloed for the first time on Saturday, what a great feeling. The 152 went up like a home sick angel without the instructor. All thanks to OFT and especially my instructor Mimmi.
Just thought i would let you know.
Regards
Alex

Alex,
Very well done. I am sure the guys in the ISM tower were very friendly too. This is when the fun begins. Good luck with your solo cross country

Alex,
Congratulations! I'm hoping to go to OFT in October to start my modular ATPL course. I can't imagine how it felt yet, but they say it's an experience that stays with you forever - I can't wait to "pop my cherry" as well!

Congratulations Alex,
It was 5 years ago this summer I first went solo and I can still remember the whole ciruit!
A great feeling you will always remember.
Look forward to more!

Wel Done! - my one and only solo so far was in a Grob Vigilant with the ATC, after 8 hours. Brilliant feeling- followed soon after a ticking off from my instructor for not completing the take off checklist properly as it was in the failing light of an afternoon and i forgot to put on the lights-whoops...............

Well done mate
You might want to see if you can record the next one from a scanner hooked up to a computer. Sounds weird but every so often I run by it on my computer and listen to it and it brings back real memories of how scared I sounded! Be worth it when you're flying the big boys.
