I don't think "you're gonna crush it" is the best expression 😂😂😂😂😂😂

That landing was butter. Good for her, she did awesome!

"You're gonna crash it!"
"What?"
"You're gonna crush it!"
"Not.. not much better... but thanks..."

That first solo - you'll never ever forget that moment no matter how long ago you did it. The most amazing feeling ever!

[ExtremeRecluse]

Excellent idea to inform other pilots that you are on your first solo flight. They know what to expect and will understand because they were there at some point in the past. Just Superb!

I still remember the joy of my first solo, even though it was over 45 years ago!!

[fermiticus]

Congrats!!!
Unfortunate that the radio was so quiet. I soloed as #5 in the pattern. Everybody chimed in, plus other on the ground. Felt great!!!

I soloed 40 years ago this year. I still have the T shirt my instructor signed. Flying career was great.

That feeling during your first solo is unforgettable, but that feeling of soloing your first student as a CFI is possibly MORE unforgettable!

I'm a grizzled old trucker, and I remember my first solo 49 years ago. This young lady brought a couple of tears. Nice take off and landing.

That was awesome! She did crush it! My flight school was at a large municipal airport. So when a student did a first solo. Not only was there ATC, But, dozens of Commercial and civil pilots listening in. So they got a lot of congratulations and well dones. There were a LOT of eyes on them.
