1st & 2nd Solo in the logbook

[Kitch]

So after many delays for work, weather, and covid I finally got my initial solo endorsement on Sunday afternoon winds were dead calm. I was pleased with all 3 landings. I've been trying to describe to my family and friends what it felt like, but there really are no words to describe it IMHO. Yesterday was solo #2 wind was 200-220 at 5 using runway 24. 2 landings I was happy with 1 I came in a touch fast floated a bit and ballooned a bit added a touch of power to slow the descent rate and touched down easy. I'm still alive and the airplane is still usable so we are good. I cant remember the last time I was this excited about something. I'm usually pretty unemotional and after my 1st solo my instructor says wow I've never seen you smile....

Congratulations, Pilot!

My first solo was just over 30 years ago.

The Billboard #1 song was "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette.

And I still remember it as if it was yesterday.

Flying (especially after your first solo!) will do that to you. Congratulations!

Thanks for the kind words !!

My instructor videoed my 1st landing, I think I've watched it 1000 times LOL.

Congratulations
I'm saving my solo for my 80th birthday present.
A month and a day away.
I had planed on being licensed but this covoid thingy got in the way.
Haven't been up since March 9th . Wife's medical problems , no flying , instructor with covoid , just the normal run of "stuff".
