Well chirens...I am a PILOT! :shock:

4 hour oral and 2 hour flight. I'm a pretty happy old man! (Thanks for the help Pop!) All stick & rudder.

Only if you move nearby... :twisted: I wish I actually owned one. I'm trying hard right now to get one on a lease to use.

Congratulations! And in a 7ECA, too! All the more reason to feel pride.
