I soloed on January 16th 2002 at JYO in a 1981 Cessna 172P.

I had around 13 hours of flight time. My first trip around the pattern, I had too much power after turning downwind and I almost busted Dulles Class B! I had to pull the power back and almost dive. The next time around the patter, I made sure I stayed at TPA!

I soloed on August 14, 1990 at TOC (Toccoa, GA) in a C150, N68007. I don't have my logbook handy, but I think that it was with approximately 10-15 hours.
