My most memorable was also my first solo at Fords Island on Oahu (which is no longer open). Rolling down that runway, steering with the rudder pedals - feeling and seeing the ground rush past, then pulling the yoke back and lifting airborne - knowing it's just you and the plane - what a sensation !! There were six other planes in the pattern so I actually had to slow my plane down and extend my downwind leg to keep separation.
