co2bruce Posted November 28, 2013 Report Posted November 28, 2013 Great job. Happy flying. Set personal limits and let them grow with your experience. And listen to Mike and buy a Mooney, you won't be happy until you do. Quote
HopePilot Posted November 28, 2013 Report Posted November 28, 2013 Well done. Now start your instrument rating tomorrow (you can take Thanksgiving off). 1 Quote
chrisk Posted November 28, 2013 Report Posted November 28, 2013 Well done. When you get a chance, add that instrument rating. It greatly enhances when you can fly. Quote

bnicolette Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 Skynewbie, Congratulations to you sir. You have entered an elite club and have accomplished something on a small number of folks do. Surely it will be something to cherish the rest of your life. Don't forget to share it with others and spread the joy of general aviation. A big thumbs up to you!! Quote
benpilot Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Posted November 29, 2013 Thanks everyone. I had a great flight today from KPAO to KSAC for dinner with family. It was nice to beat holiday traffic and soar in the sky. Now my friends and family want me to take them flying places! Anyways I will get checked out in the Mooney 20F when I get back into town for my complex endorsement. Then I can cross the next step in learning and also move on to instrument/commercial ratings. My checkride was a great learning experience. Quote
tsuttles Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 CONGRATS!!! Now go fly somewhere and share your passion with others. When you get some hours under your belt take a kid flying. I took my nephews for their first GA flight and you could not wipe the smile off their faces.... Quote
Seth Posted November 29, 2013 Report Posted November 29, 2013 What a great feeling. You my friend are a pilot. Be safe, fly often! -Seth Quote
