First Solo

It's taken me 15 flights and 24.4 hours before I did my first ever solo flight today.  I started my Private pilot training on October 12, and here I am about two months later completing my first solo.  We started with a dual flight, 3 takeoffs and landings so my instructor could be sure that I was prepared to fly alone.  After that, I kicked him out, did 3 takeoffs and landings and I'm still here to write about it.  My instructor was available the entire day and helped me progress through 5 lessons!
