I had to chuckle at his grin as I said "You got it buddy.." Well let me be the first in line to give you a shout out. CONGRAAAATUUUUULAAAAATIIIIIONS Way to go Kevin. As an armchair pilot I can only imagine the thrill and excitement that you must have experienced today, and for those in the group who are pilots I'm sure your description must have brought a smile to their faces as they remembered their first solo. |

Han SOLO that is.. Yep, had a "menage' a moi" with an R22 this
morning. Congrats. . I got the best reaction from my dad who'd I just left in Texas yesterday as he recovered from surgery. I felt really good about 2 minutes ago when my 7 year old son came in as I was writing this and asked "Daddy, how old do you have to be to fly helicopters?" I told him he had to be at least 17 to get his license and he responded, "When you get to be a teacher, can you teach me?" I had to chuckle at his grin as I said "You got it buddy.." Yeah it's moments like that that make you feel great and feel life is pretty cool. Hope your Dads recovery goes well. Gerard |

I get more people calling me unsavory names 'cuz I'm doing this.. heheeh Don't jack in the diary either, I want to see it all the way to your licence. OK, that's scary.. I was just thinking about that last night, wondering if I should consolidate flights, hang it aup all together or take it all the way to my checkride.. Save all you posts, but post each episode, then combine them all into a permanent "look back for whan you're old and senile:-) After rereading all the "issues", I decided I'd keep going right up until my checkride. I figure it'd be a good thing to have for some fun lessons when I become a CFI.. And it'll help you remember that it WAS hard once (and if that doesn't work, ask the wife:-)) Beav |

And it'll help you remember that it WAS hard once (and if that doesn't work, ask the wife:-)) I've been married 13+ years. I don't she remembers anything "hard" anymore. (Why the hell does wedding cake KILL a woman's libido?) It's been 30 odd for me, guess how *I* feel:-))) As for wedding cake, it's ALWAYS the last thing you should give a woman and it should be saved for the 100th birthday Beav |
