Thank you for the concern and I am doing just fine, well other than the fact that my business has continued to grow and I am busier than a 3 legged cat covering up poop. You know what they say about money and toys right? When you aren't making money you can't afford the toys you really want, and whe...

Welcome to the boards.

Two current locations and looking to expand already, and all this with how many planes currently out in the field? I gotta grab my checkbook so I can get in on this investment action. Who's with me?

I wish they would offer the ability to gain an endorsement for night flight. Not likely to happen, unfortunately. Consider that there are a good many Pvt, Comml, and even ATP pilots out there with lapsed medicals, now exercising Sport Pilot privileges. These folks certainly had night training (so n...

CONGRATULATIONS on getting your ticket current again.

I meant pack a shirt to change into afterwards lol. The shirt tail shirt may get framed :D Mine got framed! But no need to bring a spare shirt, the flight school where I trained gives the new solo pilot a free t-shirt (with logo of course) to wear after his solo ride so your shirt tale can stay for...

I saw the aircraft while at Sun-n-Fun and have to say she was one sexy looking machine. I was the one oggling at her while you were putting the canopy on, LOL. Can't wait to see and hear more about this plane.

I believe that carrying passengers is not an endorsement, but rather a currency issue. You must have made 3 full stop landings in the past 90 days to have currency for carrying passengers. As for carrying logbook or copies, I always carry my actual logbook with me. I use MyFlightbook.com on my Iphon...

I also agree that night time VFR is much more dangerous than day time VFR. The inability to clearly see the terrain makes a huge difference in an emergency situation. With that said, I have said before that I wish they would offer the ability to gain an endorsement for night flight. I would think 5 ...

I live locally to Sun-n-Fun and have heard rumors that close to 50 aircraft were damaged in the storm. I cannot confirm that report and it is only a rumor, but I heard that Zenith and the Aircams were hit the hardest. There is still about 50K people without power at 5pm.

Definitely WAY COOL Jack.

I will stop by and say hello on 4/3. Thank you for the heads up.

My favorite time of the day!

Welcome to the boards! Sounds like you are getting lots of experience and having fun. Keep up the good work and good luck on your checkride.

That's a great point Helen! For me, I work 6 days a week and can only fly on Sunday's, weather permitting. I am 45 yo, flew one day a week and only transitioned two planes. I still managed to solo in 12 hours but promise that it was the instructor that made the difference. I am average in abilities ...
