Most sincere congratulations!
I had to wait till I was 39 to be able to experience that thrill!
That was 11 years ago (guess my age), but the memory is as vivid as my first parachute jump.
I agree with Cadrail; you concentrate on the takeoff, and just as you are airborne your brain kicks in "What the hell, I'm on my own!!" and you start worrying a lot about getting the airplane back on the runway in one piece.
Hawker445, I wish you many flight hours, and a little piece of advice from an old guy: Fly safely!
