Congratulations from Texas. You seemed very confident not showing much nervous jitters at all. Welcome to the sky young man
-
Ha ha ha! I remember my first solo... My instructor said Taxi to the ramp and said " Jet, you are going solo , remember everything I taught you " 👍
-
I remember my first solo, over 35 years ago. Just after liftoff, I was completely caught off guard at how quickly that C152 would climb without the instructor next to me. Congrats.
-
That smile when he was about to land was priceless. Congratulations young man. The A350 is somewhere waiting.
-
That was awesome to watch. Everything about this video was beautiful ... but your smile when you did it, that was the best.

CONGRATULATIONS Young Man ! Keep your nose to the grind stone, you'll be a 777 Captain in 20 years and still have 30 years of flying. Very nice to ride along with you.
-
Congrats! Like many of us, you'll cherish this moment for the rest of your life.

Every pilot remembers their first solo. As a flight instructor of many years, now retired, the optimum age to learn how to fly is between 14 and 16. Kids of that age generally only need one demonstration of a given manoeuvre. As they get older they need more.

-
The smiles said it all: that's a day you'll never forget! Felicitations from the UK!

I remember that same smile on my face after going solo. Blue skies and safe flying my friend.

Hello from Phoenix, Arizona congratulations. Great video!!
-
I can also recall my first solo 40 y ago at age 15. Listening to the ATIS more than once... flashbacks ;-). Back in those days the first solo would usually be after 45 mins with an instructor, and he'd jump out on the runway and leave you to do one or two. Well done.

Congratulations from Brandenburg-Germany.

You'll never get that feeling ever again. You stayed very calm and confident.. well done
-
Congratulations. Great video, I wasn't that much older than you for my 1st solo, would be hard to forget the date. 7/7/77. Didn't realise the coincidence until I filled out my logbook, though my CFI did know.😁
-
Well done! I did mine 40 years ago when I was 15 and I still remember every minute of that flight, including the howling of course! Bravo!

Watching you from Bali, Indones and recalling my first so at age 16 - some 54 years ago. Thanks for helping me relive the thrill.
