I officially became a pilot today...

My first post to these newsgroups was last November, after my introductory flight. Today, I took my private pilot
flight test, and passed (with "flying" colours... I might add).

....
I got all the paper work in order with my CFI (who also congratulated me), and everything should go through the proper
channels in the coming week. I booked a flight next weekend, and I intend to take my wife up and treat her to a tour
of the sights for putting up with this 9 month odyssey that has been my flight training.

I will remember the parting words of the examiner. He said, "Best of luck, and really hope you use this to go
places." He highly recommended a trip to Newfoundland (long trip, but he assures me it's worth it). Hmmm... I think
I'll look into a GPS unit to ease the navigation. I've always been a sucker for gadgets.


A ticket to learn...Congratulations!
