USPS thanks
This isn't my first go at it.I spent 30 years of my career in the arctic on DC-3/PBY/DHC-6/B737 and I have been flying and guiding for the last nine summers.Those gas caches in 45 gal drums I still find them from the 50s.
Take care. Bill

Congratulations Jeffeosso. Keep us posted on your progress.


ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

You're going to have to learn to fly in a tight left circle so you can shoot piggies out the window. rotflmo

Jeffe, you have my admiration for pursuing a dream.

Jeffe, congratulations. I nearly pulled the trigger last year and backed out at the last minute. I have all the stuff: calculators, manuals etc. It was just too expensive. I guess I am just a chicken shit. The airport is probably 3-4 miles from my house as well.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

Jeffe, after first soloing in 1984, I finally completed my private pilot license in 2010. Life got in the way, and I wish now that I'd finished the license sooner, but it was a boyhood dream come true for me. Good luck on completing your training.

Congrats! Did my cehckout and most of time in a PA-28 Warrior II


30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking.

Congrats on first flight. I don't have the experience of Brady, but I love every bit of flight time I have ever had including the scary ones.
