I wasn't as nervous as I had expected to be.  I figured today would be ground school and haven't even been thinking about it, so Steve took me up and did 4 touch and goes and then a fullstop, he got out and I went up in the pattern :).  I only got to do one circuit because it was rush hour at PDK and tons of jets were waiting.  It was a bit gusty with a right crosswind, but I managed to get 'er down.  I'll post pictures and maybe video later :).  !

WTG! Congrats!
 
Don't forget to cut the tail off your shirt, place it in a frame, and hang it on your office wall, because someday you will treasure that very special moment in your life. :)

WTG Nacho, now you can join the airforce. They got an F-16 just waiting for you. Sure as hell beats being a bullet spong in the retarded army.
