My coworker soloed today! Three times around the pattern, takeoff to landing. Even beyond the checkride, the first solo flight seems to be the defining moment for a pilot. I will never forget mine.
I'm bummed that I couldn't be there to see him fly, but Oh Well. He just peeked his head around the door to my cube a couple of minutes ago and wordlessly showed his T-shirt emblazoned SOLO.
I'll get the full scoop when our other pilot coworker is also available to take a chat break. I haven't yet spilled it to him that I was watching Saturday morning in case he soloed then. :-)
YAY first solo! I suspect he will never forget this day.
