Well it turns out that Val was right.....I PASSED! :P The checkride itself does have a little bit of a story to it though. On Wednesday I got an email from our local examiner saying that he had come down with the flu and all of his current obligations were up in the air until further notice...

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide 9/18 Hello all, I apologize for the gap in the flight reports. Yes, I have still been out flying however life has distracted me from keeping up with these posts as I should. I have completed the minimum requirement of 10 solo flights and 2 hours of solo flight...

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide Thanks everyone for your congratulations! Due to a combination of cruddy weather and my crazy schedule I have not been able to get out and fly since my solo weekend. This long 4th of July 3-day weekend was meant to be full of glider action but once again thanks to a...

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide 6-4-2010 I soloed!!!! I am afraid that the rest of my other flights today are going to take a back seat to my last one, but I will try not to get too tunnel visioned. Well if you would have asked me after my first flight if I was going to solo today I would have told...

Tony and I will be in (if you have not counted him already from his earlier post).

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide Post #7-May 16, 2010 Fortunately or unfortunately, due to a raining and low ceiling weekend, once I complete this post of Friday's flight I will then be all caught up on my flight reports! On Friday, Tony and I headed out to the Wichita Gliderport to take a few...

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide Post #5- May 15, 2010 Ok, so I will admit that I a quite behind on the whole blog update. I will try not to be too long. Marfa, TX The 16-23 or so of April I went with Tony and N373Y down to Marfa, TX for the Dick Johnson Wave Camp. While I spent most of the week...

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide Post #4- January 17, 2010 Thanks Wayne, I do indeed like your edited version! Today I did indeed spend out at the Sunflower Gliderport. I was a little nervous for the first flight as the last time that I had flown was about a month ago and that was at the Wichita...

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide Post # 3-December 13, 2009 Hi everyone, I have another flight report to add to the others. I think that mother nature was confused today in KS. Today, December 13, Wichita KS had highs in the 50's. To a native Minnesotan like myself I could hardly believe it. Tony...

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide Post # 2: Nov. 30, 2009 Thanks all for the welcome! Sorry I haven't been back on since I last posted (had to kick Tony off the computer after all...ok mostly joking ) Technically I believe that I am now up to 11 flights (4+4+3), but who's counting. Adam, don't worry I...
