Second solo! This time went out away from the airport. Flew about 10 miles to the east of the airport, and came back. Also, I saw something I've never seen before. I saw a big Hawk about 50 feet below me. Then I realized, I've never looked down and seen a hawk flying. Pretty cool. |

Night practice. Did 7 take offs, and 7 landings. What's weird is the fact that the runway itself is not lit up - just the border.. Looks like you're landing in a big black hole. Crazy. |
