Congrats. Teach yourself to multitask. When I get nervous, I death grip the yolk. Make sure to keep one hand on the throttle. I’m so happy for you. 🙏🏻👌👍

[@N3832l]

I'm a grown man who has been flying as a private pilot for 23 years. I LITERALLY teared up and got a lump in my throat when I saw your face on TA and landing! Congratulations, welcome to the skies, and welcome to the most extreme addiction known to man (and woman) kind!!

[@fvkinamazed5520]

Omg, hope that comment was a joke.

[@ComedianOmarTarango]

Wow, you weren’t lying! That was great!

[@nedfromthehill3475]

So Richard seen as you say you have been flying for over 20 years. By now you must have figured out that the earth is completely flat. Why won't people install a proper camera instead of using a fish eye lens??

[@caseykelso1]

Had Diane in tears...

[@cinedelasestrellas]

The blue Sigtronics headset brings back memories... I was wearing that same type when I soloed in a 152 back in 1999... and I still have it!

[@shawncovert751]

The smile on your face at the point of rotation and the point of TD says it all!!!

[@hughscot]

You'll never forget that first solo and to have it recorded is great. Love the smile.

[@dishiedog]

Loved the smile when you knew you did it! The hard work pays off! Congrats!

[@chucksalvo1]

Been flying for over thirty years and it was soooo refreshing to see this young lady do so well. Her feelings were exactly what I felt so many years ago and brought a tear to my eyes. Fly safely Sheri!

[@jaymartin5752]

Congrats to Sheri! Your first solo is a life milestone you will never forget. You did awesome!

[@vrendus522]

I got hackles up my spine. Very good solo. Like the sense of humor, as humor connects to your intuition, a pilot's vital survival skill. Was a nice ride and I, one out of many had a ball watching you. Have a happy career in your flying.

[@paulgalisjnr9116]

I love it when you about to take that runway it's always a moment of your life amazing.

[@cmk6965]

You never forget that first solo.... reminded me of mine way back in 1973! Congrats!

Exactly

[@jeffreyfermstad4519]

Hopefully the friction was up crazy high...

[@deldridg]

Congratulations (4 years later!). I'm glad I'm not the only grown man to get a bit misty watching your joy on TO and landing. I was reminded of my first solo - a truly defining moment and it was a thing of joy to watch you just now. I hope you're continuing and enjoying your aviation adventures. Cheers from Sydney, Australia - Dave

[@TheKopalhem]

Fantastic. An amazingly quiet aircraft

[@JMAKUS]

Omgggggggg. This is sooooo awesome!!! I can feel your joy and excitement!!!!! I'm taking ground school now as well!!!!

[@rodtemplar258]

never forget a first solo. Just like all firsts, darned thrilling!

[@RichardAMoore-nu7pj]

Wow! How the feel of the first solo will last a lifetime! ❤️ Thank you for the memories!

[@liams.5536]

Congratulations on the first solo, very well done! I remember looking to my right at the empty seat next to me and then down to the runway on my left during my first solo and saying "shit, I gotta land this thing by myself!" on my first solo!

[@sanderslongdrive]

The airports are consistently professional. The 'blue light' vehicles always covered by camouflage blankets.

[@rockthesix1679]

Your facial expressions says it all. Great job!!!!! Have fun.

[@guillermocorrea4616]

A very happy woman!!!! Congrats from Argentina.

[@slayer8actual]

That was great! I don't remember having as much fun as you did during my first solo. I think I crushed the yoke with my vise-like grip. I really enjoyed watching you go from total concentration to complete joy in an instant. Makes me want to go up and do it all over again.

[@iLikeMyOwnPosts]

That was freaking awesome to see!

[@Filzek32539]

The look on your face when you rotated. Awesome! I remember the same feeling! OMG there's no one next to me!

[@onepairofhands]

bloody brilliant job, it clearly meant alot to you as it should , well done

[@CoraFaye]

You go girl !! I remember my first solo and wish I had a video of it.

[@bridgets9886]

That was an outstanding video! You were beaming and your enthusiasm about it is extremely contagious. Hope you are still flying!

[@kimicollier9846]

Well done..!!!! congratulations and all the best with your flying career. (lol that naughty laugh)

Niiiiice. Must have been a hell of an experience. Good for you.

[@brianchisnell1548]

Damn. I enjoyed that ride as much as she did. Cheers!

[@nickc8819]

I'm so jealous..Keep smiling and keep flying ... Bravo!!

[@brunomarques6738]

Good job girl!!! Just gonna say one thing that others have pointed out. Hand on the throttle on Take offs and landings!!!

[@brianmorrison6593]

[@sam-545]

YES! YES! SUCCESS! I''M NEXT! Wonderful video!

[@jonathanrudolph3493]

You always remember first solo, for all your life

[@dennisoleesky3768]

Wow what Richard said! I felt the same way. Even though this is years ago congrats. A great moment in your life’s legacy, and you did 100x better than me.

[@averdung]

Wonderful! Like a friend of mine said, those wings will last forever.

[@Chico69ers]

Beautiful and so was the landing.

[@twopheew9995]

That's great!!! Congratulations!!

[@LoftusRoadLad]

The smile on rotation--priceless.

[@doctoredable]

You got this girl! Great landing!

[@benjaminbellanger6011]

It's good to see you with this smile!

[@dang.1029]

Nice job, great confidence. I wish I could take flight lessons, too bad it's out of my price range. I've taken a few discovery flights and loved it.

[@68626862ful]

I thought it was only me that cryed in happiness seeing others solo i sit here in front of my computer in tears watching cause i know that joy and it takes real courage to conquer this task !!!

Finally someone who seems like they're having fun on their first solo! Most videos they act like they're going to a funeral.

[@Xnocturnus]

Well done to you...and equally well done for not taking any selfies on your first solo flight - lol!

I wonder if there is a “where are they now” video. That would be awesome so watch!

[@shevetlevi2821]

1:23 The inevitable ear to ear solo grin, when your main gear leave the ground. 3:32 You did it!

Can’t wait for my first solo.

Landing smooth as butter! YEAAAAAA! :D

[@2coolow]

I was crapping my pants on my first solo, I still get nervous when i solo but I'm working on that. At least I'm facing my fears!

[@cc-bo7nr]

Angel Rodriguez I have my first solo next Thursday and I'm already crapping my pants thinking about it lol

[@2coolow]

@@cc-bo7nr youll be fine. Just make sure you remember everything you have learned and be safe! Have fun

[@cc-bo7nr]

Angel Rodriguez I ended up not soloing on the 3rd due to crosswind but I did today!! it was awesome, I wish I recorded lol

[@2coolow]

@@cc-bo7nr nice! How was it!? I was supposed to solo today but I didn't due to fog

[@randyschwartzbauer6922]

[@LukeJohnsonEntertainmentUSA]

Hand on the throttle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a must so it doesn’t walk back on you

[@Otacatapetl]

Forget the manifold pressure gauge, just use the loudspeaker.

[@blainejobin1039]

wow yes great vid, your happy, wosom girl

[@leighjacobs4800]

Good job!! Congratulations!!!! Couple of comments. Keep your hand on the throttle during take off and climb out. The same for all legs on the pattern, except to operate the flaps, radios, lights, and the like. A little high on approach, probably due to excess thrust because your instructor (and his weight) are not on board. You'll probably need to adjust by making bigger power reductions when solo. Keep up the good work!

[@ComedianOmarTarango]

I still don’t understand how people are disliking videos like these??!!

[@Timodon1]

They angry beacuse she can carry Sidewinders now! :)

[@thomasjsanford9991]

The audio is terrible...

[@Vrotate]

Hand on power and CENTERLINE! It warmed my heart to see your smile on takeoff! My first solo was at KEQY as well, 29 years ago today! I hope your flying career/hobby is going well.

I'm sorry to hear of your trials, though sometimes you never know what the future holds for you. I hope you can overcome your adversity and realise your dreams. :) Regards, Dave
