Kevin, welcome to the club.

Been doing it since '82 or so, and still loving it.

Congratulations again,

Jim

Well let me be the first in line to give you a shout out.

CONGRAAAATUUUUULAAAAATIIIIIONS

Way to go Kevin.

As an armchair pilot I can only imagine the thrill and excitement that
you must have experienced today, and for those in the group who are
pilots I'm sure your description must have brought a smile to their
faces as they remembered their first solo.

Kudos Kevin!

Your 1st solo flights are the ones you'll never forget.

Keep the blue side up,

Yeah it's moments like that that make you feel great and feel life is pretty

Hope your Dads recovery goes well.

Not in the least bit boring Kev. Well done too. I'd swap places with you
right now if I could. *******! :)

Don't jack in the diary either, I want to see it all the way to your
licence.

Save all you posts, but post each episode, then combine them all into a
permanent "look back for whan you're old and senile:-)

And it'll help you remember that it WAS hard once (and if that doesn't work,
ask the wife:-))

It's been 30 odd for me, guess how *I* feel:-))) As for wedding cake, it's
ALWAYS the last thing you should give a woman and it should be saved for the
100th birthday;)
