When I got my private pilot license...

This has been a slow week.. I have been studying hard for my instrument written watching videos and taking mock tests. There are thundershowers in the forecast for tomorrow so it will be a sim day. I hope I can fly on sunday.


So today I'm just going to post some pictures from when I got my private pilots license. I went to Superior Flight School in 2008 at their third location in KFTY. The main school is at KRYY and they also have a location at 47A (now KCNI).
4 months after I started, the school announced that they were going to close their KFTY location and my instructor told me he was not getting a relocated at KRYY because they had plenty of instructors up there.
So well, there was a change of airport and a change of instructor, which turned out better than I thought.
I did my first solo on December 30th 2008 on N707PD and got my private in June 26 2009. Here are some cool pics of that journey.

 That's me on my first takeoff and who would have thought, there's an ATP seminole that I would fly 3 years later.

My first solo cross country to Gadsden, AL (KGAD)  on March 30th 2009




My instructor took me once to visit the KRYY control tower. That was very cool
