smitty9006 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Thanks to a superb instructor, Jack Tunstill and an outstanding pilot examiner, Frank Marsalek, I now have my private ticket. I'm looking forward to owning a Mooney sometime in the not too far future. ...Dan
mooneygirl Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Way to go Dan. Jack Tunstill helped us tremendously when our fight for Oceano Airport began last year here in California. I hope that you will own a Mooney very soon. All the best
MooneyMitch Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Great achievement Dan! You are now free to see the world from a beautiful perspective.
flyboy0681 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 I'll offer another congratulations. You may ask yourself, "didn't flyboy0681 already pen one"? Nope. Not sure what's happening on this board, but someone else posted the well wishes above and somehow were placed under my moniker. The same thing happened to me last week, but reverse. I posted a message and it was placed on the board under another users name.
231Pilot Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Congratulations Dan! That is a significant accomplishment. Hope you are at the yoke of a Mooney soon.

MooneyMitch Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Hi Kelly. We are getting close to taking the written. Doing flying with our instructor and doing "safety pilot" flying with each other. Step by step! We are really enjoying all this.
