YEEEEEE HAWWWWW!!!!!!I PASSED!!!!!!It was SOOO much fun! I can't believe a checkride would actually befun.My examiner was the best! When we were done he said he was sooosurprised that I did my maneuvers to commercial pilot level. It was ablast. I only screwed up one thing... The diversion to anotherairport. I flipped my to-from on the VOR and flew the wrong way forabout 2 minutes before I caught it... BUT , I noticed my mistake andproceeded to the airport without fail.All other maneuvers went VERY VERY well. I am soooo proud!!! A gringoes from ear to ear that I don't think will come off for days!Thanks for all your encouragement and support!Wow.... I'm a licensed pilot!!!!!

There were a couple times where my dad and I had some difficulty witheach other.... He was cool about it and suggested I use anotherinstructor for a couple hours to get over the hump I was having troublewith. I did and it worked... The other instructor gave me 3 hours ofdual and showed me a different way than my dad had been which helped.After that he was back with me to finish it off. And yep... Mygirlfriend is going to be my first passenger tommorow morning. We'regoing to rent a 172 and check out the lakes northeast of phoenix.DJ-----Original Message-----
