Amazing Russian Helicopter

Took this during an airboat ride. Notice the hiss coming from the gator.

I Made it!

I passed my Check Ride! Im an official private pilot! My flying buddy passed his test too. Here are some pictures of the two of us with our instructor. He was so nervous today. And when we both passed he was like a proud father.

Next Stop...Private Pilot

I passed my Stage Check today. So the next thing is the official check ride with an faa examiner.

ps. this is interesting.

Stage Check

Ok...
So finally I'm getting my stage check with an advanced pilot. I have to do that before I can have my check ride with an FAA examiner. I have been waiting for 6 days for a pilot to get time for me. But after tomorrow I will be ready for the big test. So hopefully this weekend or for sure on Tuesday I will be a private pilot. Then it is on to doing some of the commercial requirements and learning to fly a different helicopter. I am also planning to get my fixed wing add on as well. The school has a Cessna 172 for training purposes. So depending on the next few weeks, I might start learning to fly that too! But I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

ps. the weather here has been in the mid 70's in the day and 60's at night. sunny and light wind. It sure doesn't feel like December!

Qualifying Cross Country

Did my long solo cross country flight today. 4 hours. Flew down with a fellow student. We were each in different helicopters but left at the same time doing the same thing. It was really fun! He has been my flying buddy cause we have the same instructor and we both progress at the same rate. So we have done alot of solo flights at the same time. He is from norway. Here are some pictures from our first stop.
