First off let me introduce myself. My name is Ben Phillips and I live in lamar Mo. I have been a long time follower of this forum but this is my first post. I started my flight training just a couple months ago with instructor Tom Richards out of Lamar Missouri. Yesterday the weather was beautiful and I went up with my instructor. We made three touch-and-goes and on the last one he had me stop and he got out and I was able to do my first solo! I did three take offs and full stop landings. It was an awesome experience!

Congratulations, Ben. I have not met Tom personally, but I know from his wife Diana (via forums) that he is a great guy. I think you have done well to have him teach you to fly.

Welcome to POA. Also, remember this is supposed to be fun, so keep it that way. Have a great time!
 
Congratulations, Ben! Tom said you did well on your first, and your second solo. :) He enjoys flying with you. :)
 
Nice...congrats! I remember my solo like it was yesterday when in actuality it was 2006...
Have fun exploring on your x-countries and above all, be safe!
 
quick.........someone snap a 'juxtaposed thread thread' thread.

and congrats!
 
Good job! Few people (relatively) in the history of mankind can say they've been alone in the sky, flying under only their control. Welcome to the club!
