4 hours is not so uncommon...
In 1973 I soloed a Bird Dog with 4 hours in the log
books.... but I had a number of orientation flights....
and took ground school twice..... Civil Air Patrol
has changed over the years....
With all the liability laws we don't let them
"solo" Microsoft Flight Simulator until they have a 100 hours

It was in a PA11 supercub. Four hours was quite uncommon in 1967 as a minimum of 15 hours was required by ICAO rules.
After all these years the cub and I are both still airworthy, though the plane looked a lot better than I do after a restoration in 2002.
Does everyone remember the tail number of the plane they first soloed in?
