First SOLO!!!! EDIT... At age 61 !

Three times around the pattern, doing T& G's,
and then, an invitation from my Instr. to do a fourth, If,.... I so desire.

?? IF.... "" I so desire?? ??
Yer darned tootin I desire!

It's getting slightly dark.....won't pass up a chance to land on a runway when the little blue and the white lights just came on!!!
Ok so it doesn't qualify as a night landing....... It was fun anyway!
Got an excellent/excellent/very good/excellent/, rating on the solo!!!

next phase..... Learning humility:rofl:

Glad to hear your are flyin' solo now.:yes:
 
That is AWESOME!!!!! I remember my 1st solo back in 2001, I was having so much fun I lost count and my CFI (at the time) asked me if I was ever going to come back down. :goofy:
 
Great job! Solo is a really big accomplishment. Congratulations!

Not going to happen. You're a pilot. Humility isn't part of the deal. :D

Congratulations and welcome.
 
Way to go - and that fourth trip around the patch will earn a little bragging rights somewhere down the road when you're reminiscing with the other old codgers!
 
Just edited the original post in RED.

So... it's not just another young upstart, I'm being mistaken for.... ;) ...... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks everyone, for the great responses.
I'll print them and have as a keepsake in my flight album.
Turbulance ahead: :rollercoaster: Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
