Solo!

Today I took to the skies on my own! I was up at 4am, at the airport at 5am, and taking off at 5:45 for an hour of circuit practise with Gilbert. After a few circuits we came in for a landing, Gilbert jumped out, and I headed back out on my own.
It was a great feeling to be at the controls with no-one else there looking over my shoulder, even though my first solo flight consisted of 5 minutes air time.
It still amazes me that after 11 lessons I've gone solo, but such is the pace Oxford set. Looking forward to tomorrow - another dual flight and hopefully another solo!
