Good luck today. Except for some isolated light rain showers, weather looks favorable for you. Look forward to your report

Re: First Solo out of PABV...

Good luck man! The excitement from getting mine exactly a year ago this past monday still hasn't worn off. I will never forget that feeling of my flight home after passing the oral and checkride! That is the most amazing and peacefull flight I have ever taken. And it was late in the day as the sun was getting pretty low in the sky, so it was beautiful as well!

Congratulations. You can look outside more now and learn sounds and feels rather than just numbers.
