Did my first solo on Saturday! Amazing feeling.
Amusingly, they put the fire engine on standby.
When I landed, the ATC complimented me on my landing and then said "...and breathe!"
Ha ha. What a buzz. Feel like I am 8 feet tall today!

Congrats! Did they actually have the fire engines near the runway? Is this some sort of tradition?

Well done you. You'll still remember every moment of it however many hours you actually clock up.

Now you can escape from the circuit at last. Freedom!

36 years after my first solo they still seem to think it’s necessary to have the trucks on standby......
