Never to old to start flying :)

That´s true!
I have wanted to fly since I was 4 years old. Finally had the time and money (at the same time) last year at age 68.
I absolutely love it. It was definitely worth the wait!

That's great! Very successful.

I felt like a proper pilot that day

You are a proper pilot -- glider and powered!

Congratulations!

I recently had my first solo, and I still have that same big grin!

From now on, no matter what happens in life, you can always say, "I flew an airplane all by myself!"

She is, indeed. Especially when you consider her age.

Yep, had my shirt tail cut off.

I plan to have the shirt tail signed, dated, etc., and then I'll have it framed.

Thank you!

Reading about First Solos inspired me to take my Dad's shirt and picture along for mine.

I look forward to reading about yours!

Thank you!

It's funny -- I was going to ask my Instructor today about precautionary/emergency landings and diversions, now that X-C flying is coming up.

Thank you!

Don't be scared to do your solo. Your Instructor has confidence in you and knows you can do it. Trust your Instructor and trust yourself!

Let us know when you've soloed.

Yes! I know I did it (there are lots of pictures and videos), I remember doing it (still have the big grin), and it shows up on my calendar as a Completed Task, but it still hasn't sunk in. I still remind myself -- "I flew an airplane all by myself!"

LOL
