I can now say (thanks to Paul's invite) that I too am officially a member of
the Ilk!

It was indeed a fun weekend, and the flight down and back from Rochester was
an adventure in itself, at least for a 6-month post checkride newbie like
myself. :-)

I've got a Pinckneyville photo gallery up as well with about 110 pictures.

And the beginnings of my blog entries on the experience can be found at the
link in my siggy.

It was nice meeting everyone! Although I primarilly lurk here in the
rec.aviation heirarchy, I was finally able to put some names to faces.

And the food was to die for. I *must* learn to cook ribs like that.
