Checkride #5

[Mtns2Skies]

Passed with flying colors...
Commercial SES is now complete...

This has by far been the most fun I've had in an airplane... I'm totally hooked! I did it in a 180A on amphibs, which was just a blast to fly in, I couldn't get enough of it.

Congrats man!

Congrats! Going to buy some floats?

 

[Initial Fix]

Whoo hoo!

 

[Greg Bockelman]

Congrats. Are you going to do anything with it?

 

[Greg Bockelman]

That airplane looks like my cousin’s 182. What year is it?

It's a 1958 180A.

The owner said he'll put me on the insurance this spring... so hopefully fly it around a bunch!

 

[Greg Bockelman]

Cool. My cousin’s 182 is a 1956 model. SN 15. It’s a nice plane.

Congrats. SES is truly a blast. Though not a lot of areas to land in AZ. But Lake Havasu does have a school!

Used to see them practicing from Sand Point RV park. It was about 15 miles south of LHC .

Nice work. When my plane gets put back together I need to hop up across the state line and go flying with you.

So gotta ask. When do you start making the big bucks in aviation? ;-)

I was planning on switching out of engineering this spring... but job prospects look pretty bleak these days...

Onto studying for FOI and CFI, and my OCD is screaming at me to go get my AMES, even though ill probably never use it.

 

[LanceS]

Very cool! It’s on my bucket list

 

[jordane93]

Congrats!

 

[iamtheari]

You have the best kind of OCD. Keep those ratings coming.

Easiest way to make a small fortune in aviation?


Start with a large fortune.

Congrats. I did checkrides #4 and #5 this year. Commercial in the beforetimes, flew one paid job in February. CFI gave me a goal since my regular work ground to a halt. How did SES compare with other certificates/ratings as far as time and difficulty?
