CoolEnufToSolo

Congratulations and keep up the good work! It seems like so long ago but I remember every second of my first solo. I didn't get a hug from my instructor before I left though...maybe that's a good thing though. He was a big burly marine and people may have started to talk. Brokeback Airport and all.
 
Pam,

Congratulations on attaching a severely hyperventilating body to a vibrating metal craft and flinging both at moderately great speeds into the wild blue yonder. And then with one hand in a death grip on the yoke, and the other hand clutching the throttle, hurtling them repeatedly earthward with complete disregard for Newtonian physics in a glorious combination of woman and machine.

(Oh, BTW, I'm not this corny... I'm plagarizi--plaigairisin-- COPYING from the Air Force Pilot training solo certificate. But a heartfelt congrats anyways!)

When exactly was this deed, did? I haven't been on JC for a little while.
 
pam congratulations!!! one big step in the right direction. keep plugging along and let us know how the rest of your training comes. do you have a checkride scheduled yet? im kidding. keep up the good work.
 
yep, folks..pam did a really superb job, especially considering it was beginning to get late. her last landing was at dusk and the landing light wasn't working (of course that was caught on her preflight ;) ). she got to do a night landing last week, getting a taste of the night time visual illusion of being too high near touchdown. anyway, she makes a wonderful student pilot, particularly with regards to consistency..easily one of my best, if not the best, on her radio calls and her procedures in the traffic pattern in general. she's going to continue to make excellent progress..well on her way. congratulations on completing the first phase of your flight training - the first solo. :bandit:
 
WOOOHOOOOO!!!!! Way to go Pam, Its a huge acomplishment, and it only gets better! Great to hear, have fun with the rest.

:nana2:

And then I'll get another OUTSTANDING! :D

I'm still at that place where I feel like I'm dreaming and I'm gonna wake up right before I get my license. I can't even imagine how awesome it will be. One step at a time!
