It may have only been a -172 but it was so AMAZING! Just a simple 3 T/O and landings. It got me wondering what everyone's first Solo was like? Stories are welcome
Congratulations!
My first solo was long ago in a Cessna 150. My first solo trans-oceanic flight was in a P-3B with 12 souls on board and just me with a sextant, DR plot, and drift meter, from NAS Whidbey Island to MCAS Iwakuni, Japan. To be honest, the nav solo was a much bigger thrill.
Nonetheless, enjoy! The Navy will give you more opportunities than any other pursuit to do things you never thought you could do. Civilians can only watch and be envious.
