PASSED MY PRIVATE PILOT CHECK RIDE! 

45 days...45 hours and finally a pilot..............just 2 days before I leave for college to start working on my instrument. 

Just thought I'd inform my second family. Been a stressful summer trying to get this out of the way as fast as I could before I left for college but glad I did. I'm going to cherish my flight tomorrow as my first private pilot flight then in 2 weeks I'll be switching over to a Piper Archer to get my instrument.

Love ya guys  8-)

You're right Paul! I fly out of KLVK and do most my training around Byron...for my checkride today I actually did all my landings at Byron.

I find this so exciting, Tyler... ...!

Thinking back to our fun days of Multiplayer flights, etc, with all the other Sim V young Lads.....(we don't see many of them now!).

A lot of water under the bridge, but you finally made it....Mum and Dad will be really proud!

Will you be leaving San Francisco for your College Course?

Keep us updated with progress!

Mom and Dad are very proud but sad I'm leaving! I'm actually leaving tomorrow to go off to school, where I'll be getting my degree in Aeronautical Science...so in just a couple weeks I'll be up getting instrument rated then onto commercial!

My school is in Billings, Montana so a totally different atmosphere than California flying but it'll be fun! As you might know from flying in and around the Bay Area there are TONS of airport's to chose from which is something I'll miss in Montana.

Many thanks for the flight link, Tyler!

It reminds my just how dry and dusty Central Valley can be, especially around Byron!
I must seriously reduce my "Autogen Vegetation" to represent the area better!
I recognise the different airfields in my FS 2004, and its fantastic to see them in real life!
I spend a lot of time travelling around the area with Google Street Maps and Web Cams, at ground level!

Billings, Montana!...Google mapped it...LOTS of high mountains!
..and a long way from home!
Colder weather than SOCAL?
I'll load up my FS 2004 and explore the area!

I spend a lot of Sim time in Western Montana; Missoula (KMSO) travelling up and down the Bitteroot Mountain valley, North and South, following Highway 93 up to Canada!

Many thanks again, Tyler, for all the details... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!
