Well all,

I did it today. The wheels touched down, on a pretty good short field landing, at about 5:30 this evening. The FFA examiner told me to taxi in, and when I shut down he looked at me and said "well, you are a privet pilot." Oh yeah baby! I did it. and I thought you wold all like to know.

I wold like to thank Jason and Anais for all your help and support. The Finer Points and every body that posts were a great help in my training. Thank you all so much.

-Student Plot will...... Wait, that is Pilot Will now. Sweet!

Thanks everybody,

I got a chance to take my wife up for an hour yesterday. It was my first flight as a licensed pilot and my first right seat passenger. The flight went great, and my wife had fun. After the flight I had this wonderful sense of accomplishment and purpose, and it felt great.

Anais, Name the time and airport and I will pick you up.


Now if I can just figure out how to continue paying for this hobby of mine. Hee hee hee.

-Will
