Yeah, so, I got to solo.

The day after my 16th birthday (16 is the legal age required for a solo), I got up there and took off and landed 3 times. It was a total blast. Nothing like being up there completely by yourself. I just wanted to share because I've been flying for 2 1/2 years, and I couldnt solo until now. I didnt solo exactly on my 16th b-day due to bad weather :-(.

Anyway, heres a pic (i'm on the right, my instructor is on the left)

He took off his fur coat and pimp hat, put down his
cane, and removed his ice for that picture...

He didn't want to intimidate his instructor with his overwhelming
pimpitry.

Eh... if you're ever feeling rushed the best thing to do is take a step back and take a breath...

It was awesome, my first landing was a bit shakey, but still was good. Second landing was better, and the third landing was utterly beautiful... I could barely tell when I hit the ground, and I was smack dab on centerline.
