 |
|
I started building my rv-10 about 18 months ago because I really liked the idea of the project.
Over the years (I'm currently 61 and working full time), I took some flying lessons but never as far as license. It always bothered me that I'd left this unfinished.
So... passed my practical a few weeks ago and have the PPL ticket to learn. Now putting in some x-country hours while taking my initial intrument lessons. After building some time and experience, I'll do my transition training (probably another 18 months or so).
What a neat feeling of accomplishment.

Tom,
FANTASTIC...Neat feeling is an understatement...you have joined a very small percentage of the population who can call themselves an "Aviator". I will never forget that day...My examiner telling me he had enough, turn this thing back to Kingman and land, I'm signing your slip...WOW!! I DID IT!! I was 40 then and I turn 47 next week...you did it at 61!! Good on you!!
FWIW, after he gave me my temporary certificate, I then had to do another cross country to bring the 172 back to Henderson NV (KHND) from Kingman (KIGM) where I had flown in that morning to satisfy my last hour or so of X-country time and full stop landings just and take the exam, the oral first which felt like HOURS then the practical, the difference on the return flight was now I was a Private Pilot!! My first logbook entry after getting the PPL. That was a long and unforgettable day..I still don't know how I drove from Henderson airport to my house after landing and tying down the aircraft!
