As of today I am an official FAA licensed pilot.  Flew up to Florence for my check ride and was handed my license two hours later.  I think the FAA examiner felt bad for me because he got kind of carried away with doing "unusual attitude" testing.  This is where you put your visor on so you can't see outside the plane then put your head in your lap and close your eyes while he flips the plane around to some weird  attitude then you have to open your eyes and correct everything using only the instruments.  The first 3 went fine but on the 4th one I think he was getting bored and wanted to play some.  By the time he was done "adjusting" the plane this final time I was so sick I couldn't even see.  I believe we were inverted in a dead spin doing about 2 negative G's.  God knows how I got out of it but he could tell I wasn't doing well and I think felt kind of bad.  I pulled it together, did a few more landings and he handed me my license.  YEE HAW.

I'm still feeling a little "green" in these pictures.





Thanks to Kaleb and Red Sky Aviation for getting me trained.
