Done!
So I'm finally done flying for now and got my private pilots licence for fixed wing. Going for my helicopter rating in the fall.
Here are some photos I have:

As you can see, its pretty flat up in ND. Not much going on for terrain features. The first 4 pictures are from my first solo flight, the rest of them are from my solo cross-country.

Awesome, CC.

Re: Done!
Congrats! I'm very impressed.
So, as I understand it, part of getting the license is making your first solo cross country trip? It's kind of 'Old World'-ish in a way, the boy hero venturing out into the wilderness alone, LOL.
How far did you fly cross country? How nervous were you on your first solo flight?

Maybe.....

I flew 228 nautical miles in all. Took about 3 hours to do so. Nervous? Just a little bit. I've done 2 solo flights before one in the traffic pattern (last pic on right is when I in the traffic pattern) and the second is when I went out to one of our practice areas that we have. Those are the first four pics. Thats when I was coming back and got some pics of the city from the air. I was nervous on my first solo flight just because I didn't have my instructor with me and my second one, it was the first time going to one of our pratice areas by myself. Bit nerve racking but I here and alive so I'm happy:)
The only thing I was nervous about on my cross-country was getting into different airports along the way. I went to 2 different airports and landed there. I'm on my own and I have never flown into those airports so talking on the radio and hoping nobody was around was on my mind. It wasn't hard to get there. I plugged in my route into the GPS and I'm was set. I had my VOR tuned into also but didn't really be that great of a use to me. So I just followed the pink line on the GPS to get me to where I was going. Easy.
