finally get your ticket checking to see if it's truly mine, yep, has my
name on it.

Congratulations, CB!


Now that the "pressure" is off, I plan to just fly and enjoy the scenery
while continuing to learn as much as I can concerning aviation.

That's a really good plan. Get out there and fly, as often as you can.


Total hours - 78.4
Total time - First flight 5/1306....PPL ASEL Flight 5/12/06. (Should
have
waited 1 more day to make it an even year )
Total cost - $4137.00 - this includes everything - instructor, fuel,
books,
sectionals, etc.

That's pretty cheap. I think I estimated that it ran me something like
$7500
or so...


My plan is to forge on and get Instrument Rated.

Thanks to all those who gave me moral support when I failed the first
time.

Well, you never really failed, did you? You just didn't pass until today
;-)

Best of luck on the IR. I had a lot of fun getting mine.

I appreciate the complement. Maybe I didn't fail the first time...just took
a brief intermission.
