I received my license today!

[phintz]

Hello Everyone, I received my license today! I flew from KOFK to KFET to meet my FAA checkride examiner and captain of American airline pilot himself Burt Aagesen. The oral part of the exam was about 2.5 hrs, then we flew for 1.5 hrs more. On our final landing he smirked and asked If I would mind if he took the controls for a trip around the pattern! I really couldn't tell him no since I didn't have my certificate yet :) He loved the flaperons, and like the way it handled!! And at the end of the afternoon I walked away a private pilot!!!

thanks to all who helped me reach this goal! I can't thank you enough!


Thanks again
