Something I will never forget as long as I live, when I made my first solo flight, I was scared stiff, until the wheels left the ground. Once the wheels left the ground I knew in my heart I HAD to land that airplane, no jitters, nothing, just me and the O-200 purrin along. I went around the pattern and lined up on the 1700 foot long island and landed just fine. You will do just fine, remember, you've came this far, you are already a pilot. Some think that once they get the ticket they no longer have anything to learn, THEY ARE WRONG! I learn something on every flight, even if it is something small, I am still learning and have been flying since 1996.
