The first time your instructor leaves you alone even though you probably already know what to do, feels so strange and intimidating, of something does goes wrong hes not there to save the day, is definetely different

[Barabyk]

"Do a full stop"... something that every pre-solo student wants to hear...

[jakehodges]

Congratulations on your first solo! Well done young man. This video brought fond memories of my first solo....52 years ago. You put a smile on this old mans face. Thanks you!

[christophercosier]

Love how enthusiastic and proud you are as an instructor man!

[mrpielover]

"There's no one in the pattern" *Looks around* "Actually there's a boat up there." lmao!

[grahamrobinson]

No joke, the editing only gets better!
Oh yeah and congrats Mike!

[flyingturtle]

I actually got weak knees and goosebumps watching this as if I was doing my first solo again. That was strange.

[HoosierPilot]

Congratulations Mike! I knew he was getting close in the last video. He’s a sharp guy.

[richardsfamilyof]

Congrats!! You'll never forget your first solo. The rest goes super quick. Enjoy!! Congrats Dix as well! You must feel like a dad whose child just got training wheels removed!!

[edwinbenschop]

Great job Mike!!!
There is absolutely no feeling in the world comparable to that moment when you take off for the first time without anyone sitting in the seat next to you. You will remember that moment for the rest of your life!!!
Congratulations again and i wish you many safe landings!!!

I love the goosebumps comment by Lewis, it must also be a strange feeling to let your student go solo for the first time as a CFI...
I hope to experience that feeling somewhere in my aviation future ;-)

[JBMMalik]

I just seen this and instantly got happy for mike. Congratulations on your solo

[benderaviation]

Chef John here! Oh wait wrong channel. Way to go Mike, you landed those like a seasoned pro! You're officially PIC now, make good decisions!

[redmondson]

Now for cross country flights! This is where becoming a pilot pays off. Just wait til you do IFR training. Lol

[deephouseman]

I absolutely love this! Congratulations Mike! I flew back when I was 22 and didn't finish, now back in flight school at 47 and there's no stopping me. It's videos like this that really inspire me. Thank you both for sharing!

[DirtNerds]

My CFI told me when he asks me if I am ready, " I replied get out my airplane!"

[FromNorway]

Awesome. I know that feeling.... 41 years back ... 16 years old!

[christopherhadsell]

I never, ever, in all my days, thought I'd tear up at a Lew Dix video ... so beautiful, man! It's a great feeling when that bird is all yours, or closer to it, at least!

[richarddanner]

Congratulations MIKE nothing like without the CFI the plane climbs and flies so much better..Welcome to the sky’s my brother...Big Rich

[ryans.]

Mike's a total professional and you're a great instructor, Lewis.

P.S. Your editing always cracks me up 😂
