Solo!!!!
I know I'm way overdue on updates. I'm sure no one (of the two or three that were before) is reading this anymore. But I soloed today!!!! I flew the plane all by myself. No instructor. No Autopilot. No ejector seat. Just me, the plane, and gravity. I did three take offs and landings with Brice, then he asked if I was ready to do them on my own. I paused for a moment, took mental inventory, and was certain that, yes, I WAS ready for it.
I did three take offs and landings and wasn't scared once. I was too thrilled to be scared.
As of now, I've got 13.9 hours of flying time. 13.5 with dual instruction, and .4 as Pilot-In-Command. I can't relate how excited I am. I'm not sure if I'll sleep tonight.
And I get to do it all again tomorrow . . ..
[Ed. I corrected the tally of hours above - one additional trivia bit is that I've logged 44 landings, with and without help.]

Can you GPS it tomorrow, or will that be too complicated?
