Exactly! The first time I went solo, he just said "okay you can go on your
own now" I thought I miss heard him for a min! And when I fully realised it
was such a fantastic surprise. An amazing feeling
.....
and on a never note. my first solo I did my best landing ever, and never
since have I been able to make such a perfect landing
(the next 2 solo flights I made very sloppy landings! Eek!)

Scheduled to solo? Now that ruins all the fun of wondering and waiting.
