I know there hasn't been a lot of chatter in this thread, but I just have to tell everyone who reads the thread:

I had my first solo flight today

It was one of the most exhilarating things I have ever done!

Flew down to Yarram from West Sale through broken cloud to undertake some theory lessons with a couple of other students. We all sat both the Air Legislation and Radio exam and passed. Then flew a couple of circuits and instructor asked if I wanted to go solo, so I did a full stop, he jumped out and away I went!

Not my best landing, but I made it stick and did not have any major dramas, so I am pretty happy.

So, was a good day all up.

Still on cloud nine (sorry, bad pun!).

It's taken me about 13 hours of dual time to reach solo. Next major target for me now is to achieve passenger rating so I can take my wife, Mum and in-laws up for a fly.
