SOLO!

This morning my alarm clock woke me up (the fifth time this week) at 0300.
An hour where all normal people are still sleeping but in our appartement there are no 'normal ' people. I was even happy I could wake up so early.
After I succeeded my pre-solo check on Thursday I had my first SOLO today.
So reason enough to be alive and kicking, to be prepared for my first flight without instructor.
First I took off with Jeff (my instr.) to make 2 landings with taxi backs, than he left the plane and I could restart the engine myself and take off for 3 normal patterns.

The feeling was super-mega-fantastic-awesome!!
I had quite a bit off stress at the moment I closed the canopy and asked my taxi clearance. The fact that I'm flying with an aircraft as expensive as a little house and than a lot of camera's that were pointing on me did the stress-level increase a lot.
There is almost no place for mistakes...
But I enjoyed it soooooo much, the air was smooth, the landings were good and I made it back safely at the ramp...

Thanks for the guys for making pictures and getting up so early as well!!

Ciao!
