I didnt really find it any different. Just that the plane responded better without my 280 pound instructor in it.
I was just a satisfying feeling being the only one in an airplane. Also since Im still in school I thought to myself "hey no one else in my entire class has done this or is even up in the air right now enjoying the beatiful scenery".
I can promise you it will be one of the most memorable days of your life.
Good luck.
