Greetings

On May 1, 1967 I flew my last pre-solo dual.
I soloed on May 2, at 10 hours, in Cessna N8624J, a brand new 150, the
first student to solo in it.
The rent was $7/hr wet.

Cheers

Congrats on your 40th annaversary, lots of fond memories I'm sure.

I soloed at 7.3 hours, about 5 years later in 1972. Apparently I was getting
robbed. I was having to get $10/hr wet, and $15/hr for dual. I think avgas
was about 45 cents a gallon at that time.
