ACMESkydiver 0 #1 January 12, 2005 Hoo-ray!!! Okay, the first pic is my FIRST CLASS medical cert...I got it just over an hour ago, I'm so STOKED!!!! No restrictions, I can fly anything for anyone!! (Um, as soon as I learn how. ) Being a pilot has been a dream since I was 12 years old...I can't believe it's going to come true!!! Never give up on old dreams...The second pic is an antenna ball they sell in the bookstore where I am learning all my piloting shtuff...um, should I be worried? ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

I had a FA showing me one of those a few weeks ago. You are a woman aren't you.........I got a hearty chuckle over the fact that you edited out the height and weight. Congrats though......you took the first step. Now just don't be lazy like me. I got a really nice gift for Christmas. My family got together and dug out my shirt tail from my very first solo. 3-25-90. They framed it along with the Polaroid of my brother and I standing next to N8297F. My Dad's Cessna 150.

Well, now that you have your medical, go get your tandem rating as well (the manufactures require it for their TI ratings).
