@rfnajera It's alot of fun, expensive, but fun. Not a day goes by that I don't ask myself "why the heck am I doing this" but it's just something I've always wanted to do since childhood. Good luck and remember to have FUN.
@Grizzy78 It was great fun. We were up in the air for little over an hour, with me at the controls most of the time. I could feel my entire body being very tense, so I had to remember to relax and look at the scenery. I also found myself checking the instruments too much. I agree with you on the expense. So my wife and I talked it over, and I'm going to do it in 6-hour chunks every month for the next year or so. Maybe a little more when there is more daylight. Thanks for the reply!
@royrodgers0 Yeah it was getting late you're not suppose to solo after dark. Was in a little bit of a hurry to get all the way from the east ramp over to the runway. Going a little quick but not too bad. As far as the papi lights, I was a little high on two of the landings but corrected it. You can't really tell the color of the lights because of the quality of the video. Thanks
@spionen007 Congrats! The plane has undergone maintenance twice in the pasta 3 months causing a total of 3-4 weeks in delay. In the meantime I lost my instructor because he took his dream job as a gulfstream pilot somewhere in Florida. Now that the holidays have passed I am ready to start back up and try to finish lessons. I flew yesterday for the first time in months and did very well, my new instructor gave me a new solo endorsement. =)
Great job keep
it up and have fun

Taxing a bit fast, and I can't see the PAPI lights to see if you are on the glide-slope...landings look a bit low, but great touchdowns!

@catumbe It's required that you come to a full stop and taxi back here in the states.

Nice job Grizzy! I thought you did a great job. I flew my first solo Oct 12th not too far behind you. How many hours now and how is it going? Alan
