Solarski notes that if he could interview three persons--alive or dead--that list would include Jesus, Thomas Jefferson, and Leonardo DaVinci. He also admires anyone willing to sacrifice their personal lives for leadership. John McCain, Bill Clinton, General Arnold Schwarzkopf, General Barry McCaffrey, Jack Kemp, Jim Jeffords, Jeb Bush, Bob Dole, and Bishop John Ricard also stand out as people who left lasting impressions for the way they presented themselves, and the strength they exude.
As with any television station employee, Solarski was a mainstay in the coverage of the various hurricanes which have directly made landfall in the Pensacola area, such as Opal and Erin (1995), Ivan (2004) and Dennis (2005). Ivan is listed as the 10th most intense Atlantic hurricane in history. His continuous coverage of these hurricanes are some of his most vivid memories. Solarski was also a prominent point of reason with the [[Wikipedia:Deepwater Horizon oil spill|Deepwater Horizon oil spill]] crisis, also known as the BP oil spill crisis , that plagued the entire Gulf Coast region in 2010. The spill caused extensive damage to local marine habitats and to the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries which Pensacola is so attached with.
