How awesome!

My nephew is a full time pilot, for Sky West if I remember right?

It was a long road, but he is set for life. Lives in Santa Barbara, walking distance to the beach, surfs and races off road.

Lemme know if your interested, and I can put her together with him!

Congrats!

Lol. I bought her a 170. I decided to let her beat up someone elses plane while getting her certificate. Then she can get her TW endorsement & fly the 170 ;)
Did you buy a a a or b model 170. does it still have the 0300

Awesome! Loosing your shirt tail is an amazing accomplishment. I lost mine at 20 years old in a Cessna 152. I’ve done a lot of stuff but still chalk up my pilots license as one of my greatest accomplishments. A pilot never stops learning!

I habe always wished i had the time and money to get my pilot's license.

When I was trying to decide what to do after high school Embrey Riddle was getting high consideration. For some reason I decided against it. Still kinda wish I had done so.

Congrats to you and your daughter, so fun indeed.

I remember my first solo, well, somewhat. I’m gettin old but, back in my day, the shirt you wore the day of the 1st solo was cut, dated & signed by the student and instructor then hung from the ceiling. Just wish I could remember that day. If I find the picture, I’ll edit and add it here.

Congratulations

Congrats. I got my ticket in 6357Q with Rick, that is the perfect 152 to train in with the sparrow hawk conversion. Have her get some tailwheel time in the sport cub after her checkride.
