Thank you for the post. Brings back 1975 so clearly when I soloed in a Cessna 150! Tom ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

HUGE congrats!!!! I'm very envious! I'll be there in a month or so, just need to study more and get that damned written out of the way. I started in Oct and was beginning to think I was dragging it out a bit but based on your timeline it looks like I'm right on track! Where are you located, btw? Regards, Scott "....but to protest against all hunting of game is a sign of softness of head, not of soundness of heart." Theodore Roosevelt | |||

Congratulations! Thats a happy day! Any plans on moving on to an instrument rating? Even if you don't go for the check ride, the training will be helpful. My examiner on the instrument check ride told me, "You passed. That doesn't necessarily mean you know what you doing. All this license does is allow you to learn on your own, without an instructor, how to fly instrument." True statement. Congratulations. | |||
