My first solo was 24 yrs ago in Memphis. Left KMEM with the instructor for Olive Branch airport. When I dropped of the instructor he told me that we were running late on time, and if it was looking like I would land long, that it would be quicker to go around instead of taxiing back for another t/o. Sure enough, on the first approach I went around, and my mother gouged a deep wound into my father's arm yelling, HE CAN'T LAND!!! OH MY GOD, HE'S GOING TO DIE.!!!
I just love to get them all wound up.
