Commercial checkride
« on: December 24, 2013, 08:33:57 AM »
Ohhh snap. I just scheduled my check ride for this Friday! Hopefully the person who has a checkride earlier in the day with my examiner cancels or can't fly so that I can do both my SEL and MEL rides together as I was initially planning. Two and a half years in the making and I'm almost done. I should have been done last year, but financial reasons held me back and then I got a job and then another job...

I'm coming down to the last few days available before my written test expires as well.

Now I'm just hoping weather holds out so I can get these last few hours I'm required to have in before my ride so I can take it. I'm going flying today and will fly on Christmas Day as well between family visits and then probably again on Thursday.

Needless to say, you won't see me on here till the new year, hopefully with new tickets in pocket!

Congrats. 

But the hair bands, oh my wow they had a lot of hair and makeup.  See all those girls after 'em, what a strange time.  Coke, hair, jean jackets, high tops with scrunchy socks and Countachs.
