3 landings and takeoffs with 0.8 flight time logged as PIC. Had about 42 hours beforehand with about \~45 landings prior.

Also has no letters in the tail number. Only one in my flight schools fleet to not have paint or letters in tail number

You know those blank cargo playnes? It’s like that. They change colours when they’re scared
frankgetsu@reddit
how was it? how are you feeling right now?
MaybeBowtie@reddit (OP)
Pretty good. It was a long day since the airport is about 30 minutes away to do solos at and I had to do 5 taxi backs beforehand. So total flight was 3.8, far longer than what I’ve done before (haven’t done cross country yet)

Just a heads up, tail number on the piper still visible

Barely lol. I’m not too worried about that one since it’s not owned by my flight school.

After landing check list says put the flaps up 🫠

Hmm. Then the photo must’ve been taken before taking off to go back to home base (during my 3rd preflight before heading back, but after soloing)
