Mine was 3/3/90, and I remember it like it was yesterday. I still get a catch in my breath when I remember how I felt.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work.

Mine was a little before that ;), but I still remember the day me and my instructor went up and shot some landings. He then say taxi over to the ramp, and then asks if I had my medical with me. I told him yeah, so he asks for it when we stop and say's "I'll go sign this*, you go do three and only landings, make sure you go through the check lists, have a good time". With that off he goes and I am about to solo.

I taxi over to the area to call the tower form get my taxi clearence and off I go, WOW! was I having a great time until I turned final and realized that I had to land this thing all by myself with no one to bail me out!!! I think it might have been my best landing ever. I did two more and each one got progressively worse :mad:. But it still felt great.




* This was before the rules we know today, things were a little different 20 some odd years ago and in England to boot, which is where I first learned to fly.
