Congrats on your solo. I remember doing the same in 1982. Its quite a thrill. There is nothing like being able to go to the airport and take off with no where to go and just fly. I flew for about 10 years. Owned a C-172. Still love to fly. Kind of the same feeling I get now just driving the Xfire. Did it today. Just went out for a drive with no place to go. When I gave up flying 100 LL was about $1.80/gal. I was wondering what it is now or is all PP flying being done on Auto fuel?
Flying is great. Stick with it as long as you can. I never did anything else where I learned so much about so many different things, and met so many people.
Take lots of pictures.
Remember, keep the dirty side down and the pointy end forward.
