Does anyone have a copy of "Guide to Bush Flying" by F. E. Potts they are willing to part with? Starting tailwheel training and it's on my syllabus. The copies on Amazon, etc are all over $150. I'll give you a fair price for it. Regards, Dave

Congrats! (from another old guy who just passed a couple weeks ago also)

Thanks everyone. Took my first passengers this weekend. Very cool and rewarding to take up my 3 kids. 2 on Friday and the other on Saturday. I have 2 sons in the Air Force and my oldest is an F16 fighter pilot, so to have him in the right seat with me was something I've been looking forward...

Thanks guys. Still on cloud 9, (1000' above of course)

Passed my checkride yesterday! It was a great experience overall. I was very fortunate to have an awesome DPE who conducted a very thorough oral but in a relaxed manner. It was more conversational than I anticipated which really helped. Crosswinds were somewhat challenging, but I...

Congrats!!! I really hope my DPE isn't like that guy next week or I might be in trouble.

The tension is building. I hope the OP reports in soon. My PPL checkride is next week and I want to hear good news.

Finish my long XC last week and it was anything but dull. Got cleared into Boston class B airspace en-route to Hyannis. Got vectored right over Logan and snapped this pic!

Can you give a write up the checkride? I have mine coming up in a few weeks.

Thanks guys. I don't even know if the warrior I'm training in has 'bug', but you can bet I'll look on my next flight.

Hey guys, student pilot here. What's the "DG" that people are referring to here?

Never too old to start. I just started 6 weeks ago at age 53 and am having a blast. Just solo'd this week and looking forward to the next phases of my training. What town do you live in. If you are north of Boston, you might want to consider East Coast Aero. They fly out of Bedford, MA...

Great job!

Thanks!
