First solo!

[BlueSky247]

Whoohoo! Wx cooperated today and I knocked out three full stop landings. Nerves got to me a little and my calls were hesitant on the first lap but I stayed on the flows and the last two laps were smooth. My cfi did a great drawing on my shirt piece and I can’t wait to get that framed. 

Now, the dream feels a lot closer to happening.

 

p.s. I’m going to a party this weekend. How exactly do I go about telling everyone I’m a pilot?

Congratulations!

Congratulations! That's a big step. You are now on the verge of The Dream, Part 1. For me, Part 2 was to own my own plane . . . .

It will be a great answer if someone asks what you've been up to lately . . . . Better than "about 4000 feet".

Congratulations! Get a big watch and sunglasses and they will know.

Thanks guys! It’s actually a singles mixer for a church so I figure telling people “I like to get high” would get some eyebrows.

I often tell people that I'm running low and need to get some more altitude!

Start using your hands when you explain everything…..even finding a parking spot….and start every sentence with “there I was…..”

Nothing says pilot like this:
