My First Solo Flight - Cessna 150

[@Hume2012]

I took my solo flight in a 150 on July 20, 1969. One in the morning and one in the late afternoon. That evening I watched the Apollo astronauts first moon landing. Will never forget that day and that happy coincidence.

[@flyergeorges3619]

Congratulations. I remember my solo flight, you will never forget it. You looked so happy on take off, the minute the wheels left the ground, you truly became a pilot. Keep flying and good luck with the rest of your training.

Congratulations to her and to you for being first comment without a reference to her looks.

[@flyingfox10001]

clearly women like this as its everywhere at their own choice! if you can not see this video for what it is then you are blinded by your own ideals! half the frigg'n world's economy is based on women's beauty for their own and men's benefit! it is a most natural thing to be turned on by such beauty as to something that makes us shiver by it's hiddenness. but there's always those who want to fight and change nature because of their ignorance!

[@jameslanning8405]

Such a pretty smile! She made the scenery inside the plane as enjoyable as anything outside! Congrats on your solo as well! She looks so excited to be flying on her own!!

[@tylerprattcom]

I remember when I went on my first solo. I could see it in your face. Your thinking "Holly shit, Im actually up her by myself with no instructor" feel like you can accomplish anything. Well done, nice landing!!

[@rocketmann8333]

Right!! :) Loved that smile!! brought back such great memories for me too!

[@stephensmith1034]

I was thinking: "I really don't need this in my life"! But I stuck with it. Took a little while to get over that urge to butt-pucker.

[@inquisitive980]

Tyler Pratt My instructor was a large man. He warned me the 150 was going to act different with him out of the plane. All went well until landing. The decent rate just was not there. Did a go around on my first solo. Never will forget it.

[@belssage]

EXACTLY!

[@obsoleteprofessor2034]

My instructor told me it would climb a bit faster. He wasn't kidding.

[@RyunDee]

Seeing her so happy during takeoff made me happy as well!

[@readmore3634]

I remember my first solo...Cessna 172....I wasn't nervous about flying it...more nervous about making the decision to solo. Once I started taxiing I found myself doing the same things I been doing for months....the plane was a passenger lighter so it took off earlier and reached pattern altitude earlier....greased the landing...flipped up my microphone away from my mouth and yelled out: "YESSS!!!"

[@chrisgordon1447]

I loved this. Took me back 30 years to my first solo at Bristol. I felt your elation! Thank you!

[@azzir325]

2:36 you look at the empty seat next to you and suddenly, it's real... I remember doing that 40 odd years ago on my 1st solo. Congrats!

[@tomacosta2033]

On my first solo, I remember all my senses magnifying. I could hear things I never heard before like engine noises and the wind rushing by. It sounded like I had a door open, and then to top it off, I got cut off on my final by another airplane having engine problems landing on my runway with no radio. I was at 800 feet with flaps down and found myself flying over wooded terrain feeling very sick about the situation. My instructor waiting for me on the ground chewed the other pilot out with no mercy! What a flight!

[@richarrrdj]

Looked like some big bolts of lightning could have come down from those low hanging clouds. Great flight and your instructor did a good job of showing you the basics. Good luck on some heavy cross wind landings in the future. congradulations.

[@diederikschip6190]

Lol, she can't stop smiling!

[@jamesarrington2407]

I don't know what the tradition is in Sweden, but in the USA, when a commercial aviation student makes their first solo, the instructor cuts the back and tail of their shirt off, writes the date and time, and the number of hours of lessons the student has had prior to solo, and hangs the shirt piece up in the airport for all to see. Obviously, from the shirt Solveig is wearing, that tradition is different in Sweden. It is still a great milestone, and she has joined a very exclusive club of people who have actually flown and landed an aircraft all by themselves. Congratulations (even if this is a year and a half later)!

[@commentatron]

That's a relief. At first I assumed you were going to go with the tradition of cutting off the front of the blouse, swinging the bra overhead and posting the video on YT.

[@peteh5862]

I dang sure remember my first solo. My instructor hopped out and I departed. While in the pattern a C-310 came in and the gear collapsed on landing. I had to fly the pattern for 15-20 minutes while they jacked the 310 up and moved it off the runway. By the time I was able to land I was a wreck but did ok and was signed off for solo training.
