Damn. All these "solo'd at 10 hours" stuff. I wonder if I had
decent CFIs. I had 30 at my first solo. I know I don't learn
super fast, but jeesh.

How far were your lessons spaced out? I had just finished four years in the
Navy flying back seat as radar operator in S2F sub chasers, so navigation,
general familiarization with aircraft was old stuff, and I was taking
courses through the Junior College on pilot training, so things were going
along at a pretty good clip....
It was still a kick in the pants anyway you slice it though, wasn't it?????
