I thought I heard Skuzzy say in the MA that he had done it on Friday....

I believe Skuzzy was referring to a sheep caught in a fence.

Can you do those checkrides in the rain? Cause it was pissing down here almost all day on Friday and it was raining off and on just about all weekend.

Sling the rain doesn't neccesarily effect anything ,the visibility and cloud cover would indeed make someone postpone a VFR Pilot ride check. When I took mine it was raining but clouds were high enough and visibility was about 5 SM so I was legal. Took it passed it flew 5 times after that and Haven't flown since :-D

Wow...I took mine in 1992...I have to do my BFR (Biennial Flight Review) this month, then do the required night landings, etc to be all up to date again. No pun, but wow...time flies...

Glasses...shame on you! Get back up there!

Is that optimal speed for efficiency HT? And how much does the fuel cost?

22 MPG... a little better than I would have expected.

Actually a little better than that DJ unless you meant Nautical MPG. Works out to about 25.6 Standard MPG. But who cares about cost when yer soaring above the grunts.

I'm very jealous

At least you got the oral part down, supposedly that can be very challenging

I thought this was a family orientated BBS?
