My first solo was 6 years ago. When my instructor got out, he said "nice meeting you." We chuckled, though being a student, I was nervous, naturally. After taxiing out and doing a few take offs and landings, and making it back safe, I was like "My god, I made it!" Best feeling in the world. It's like learning to walk for the first time and knowing that you've done it all on your own. Can't speak for other pilots, but I'm sure most would never forget their first solo.

Was dreaming of my first solo since i was 5. It happened later in life when i was 37. No one can explain the feeling. I feel a bit weird saying this but, when i taxied back, and shut the plane down, after my first solo, my eyes welled up with tears of joy. My instructor said "Well done mate, what's wrong?" I said, "i've been waiting to do that all my life". Its something that you will never forget.

First thing I watched after my first solo last week. Absolutely brilliant, when people ask me how I felt, I show them this. I soloed again today for an hour and a half and the feeling was even stronger. I also agree with skippytbk's comment about unicom. REALLY kept wondering why this cropduster was using 22 when the winds were favoring 4.

Yeah, I only found that DVD recently but that one sequence made me go and open my log book and run my finger along that one single entry. Think I stood there for about 20 minutes. Brilliant documentary.
