Yeah right!!?? Its amazing how you see kids that have hundreds of Ks even million subs and probably havent been outside their houses, or just play games.... And this here, requires so much more effort, knowledge skills time everything and doesnt get so much attention. Hard to understand...but again these days and these times we re living in, who knows..... Not taking credit of those kind of youtubers but, this is golden

Great job Mike!!! There is absolutely no feeling in the world comparable to that moment when you take off for the first time without anyone sitting in the seat next to you. You will remember that moment for the rest of your life!!! Congratulations again and i wish you many safe landings!!! I love the goosebumps comment by Lewis, it must also be a strange feeling to let your student go solo for the first time as a CFI... I hope to experience that feeling somewhere in my aviation future ;-)
