Figured I get my entry done with or else I would forget about it like the last few months. Pretty happy with the result!

First time solo-er having too much fun, cut it close to dusk...

Cessna 150 just before touchdown

As always, comments (good or bad) welcome!

Thanks for looking!

wheelcam was giving me some problems, seems I could only move in one direction not the other, wouldn't even zoom out...

The plane was from here
http://drk.free.fr/tutoriels/creation/c150_en.php

and the repaint was the "dirty" one from avsim.com, search "dirty Cessna 150".

My instructor told me 3 t & g's, PERIOD Grin

didn't much care how much fun I was having, and at 20 / hour, or so, (1971, I was 16) I wasn't gonna stay in it til dusk Grin

6 hours away

Come to think of it, I don't remember the rate, I had a package deal $450.00 for the 35 hours for the PPL, but I think the per hour wet rate was 20 or so

Was I disqualified or something?
