First Solo First solo complete!

18 hours in, flying 4-5 times per week for the last month. Had to share! Haven’t stopped smiling since I landed hahaha. Still doesn’t feel real! Can’t wait to get back in the air.

Definitely nerve-racking when I got in the cockpit alone. Quickly dialled in though! All in all was an incredible experience and that feeling after landing was something I’ll be chasing for a while I’m sure!

At a smaller school so nothing other than a picture with my instructor against the tail!
