Speaking strictly for myself....No, there has never been a moment
of flying that has been quite as good as my first solo. There were

first time I sat at the end of the runway and pushed the throttle
forward knowing that once I cleared the ground, nobody but ME was
going to get that plane back down in one piece.

Of course, you will never understand that, let alone experience it.

Yes, nobody _ever_ experiences a moment of independence except for
pilots on their first solo.


Oow, for you it will be the first time you go down the corner shop to buy
candy!


good luck with that, BTW, We're all rooting for you.
