I’m a Private Pilot!!!
It’s official! After over four years, and too much money to think about, I finally accomplished the goal I set for myself to finish my Private Pilots license!!! It’s such an amazing weight off of my shoulders and I couldn’t be happier for getting it done. I barely slept last night anticipating the exam today (4.5 hours of ground testing, and 1.7 hours in the air), but now that it is over, I am a very very happy man, who will get plenty of sleep tonight!
I’ll write up more details about my practical/checkride, but not today…I’ll be too busy celebrating!!!
So I gotta ask…who wants to go flying? 😉

there’s very few people I trust dealing with two dimensions, however I approve of your ability to handle three. (yes, this is a compliment)
Congrats Jason. If you need an A&P for maintenance, hit me up.
