Default First Solo and Total Hours Flown

FWIW: I soloed with 1.5 hours logged.


How many NOT logged?

Haven't got a clue, they weren't logged. But unlogged hours included cross
country trips, three point and wheel landings (tail dragger donchaknow),
hoodwork (my brother thought it was entertaining to put me under the hood
and play "you got it"(His son is now flying Part 135 in a King Air.)),
stalls, I don't recall doing spins - but it's been a lot of years, general
"airwork" stuff. I probably could have passed a check ride by the time I
decided to go after getting the paperwork and actually signed up with a
_certified_ flight instuctor. The 1.5 hours was more of a check ride than
"instruction".

I think the trip we took from Michigan to Alaska was after I soloed, but I'm
pretty sure we flew to Oshkosh before...
