Just passed my first annual inspection solo

Used to watch the senior guys do everything, now I signed off on a Cessna 172 myself last Friday. The torque wrench finally clicked for me after messing up a few wheel bolts months ago. Anyone else remember their first solo sign-off?

Reminds me of my buddy's first sign-off story.

You mentioned your buddy's first sign-off story, and man that takes me back. My first sign-off I got so nervous I accidentally signed off with '73' to a guy who was clearly a '88' kind of operator. He never let me live it down for like six months. I still cringe thinking about it, I was trying so hard to sound cool and just ended up looking like a total goober.

First sign-off stories are always a mess, right?
