After waiting for the weather to clear up. Snow and 1000 ft ceilings and it taking almost 2 hours to clear out. The TAF of course said it would be clear by 0930. Finally got to go up and do a few landings with my instructor, then added fuel while he filled out my log book and off I went.

Re: Solo'd Today
Awesome feeling isn't it ? ... there are tens of thousands of pilots taking off on their own every day, but to me it felt like I really accomplished something
Congratulations !

I have to say it felt great, and some of my best landing. Of course no one but me was there to see them. My instructor was inside Sporty's staying warm.

Well, did you record it today ?
I saw you got a youtube channel with quite a few videos ( at least I think that's yours, flying Skycatcher out of I69...)

Re: Solo'd Today
Posted the video of my pre-checks and taxi... should have the flight up later today.
Mine is a West Coast Cobra with an SVO-460 and Richmond 4+1 Trans, about the most comfortable Cobra money can buy it rides better than my Jaguar XF, but way louder.

Congratulations! I'm originally from the Cleveland area, and one thing I don't miss is the snow and cold!

Apropos of not much, I assumed you were the young(er) pilot in the handshake photo!

Nope, I am the slightly older bearded guy who is finally going to enjoy the world of flying.
