My first solo was on March 10, 2000. Because the rental plane and instructor was booked, it was just one takeoff and one landing. Kind of anti-climatic. So.....on April 7th, I did 5 solo takeoffs and landings, with an audience and some photos.

On the downwind leg at Felts Field. I'm the little speck above the hill.
 
 

On approach. I'm the guy on the left above the runway.
 
 

A successful landing!
 
 

Taxiing back to my parking spot after five succesful touch and go's.
