Congrats once again. The hurdles will be coming faster now, so enjoy these moments! Tell Alec that Mel said to show mom just how smooth and elegant he can be and leave the knowledge demonstration for pop! Even he will appreciate it!

Congrats again!

Congratulations from another random guy from the interwebs! We have a great little airport here in Augusta, If you fly down we can have a celebratory lunch!

welp, it happened ! Alec got his PPL mid Febuary and took me up couple weeeknds ago (3/5/2016). it was a spontaneous rental and we had 45 mins flight time.
a condensed version:

I found myself a bit choked up as we left Terra-firma.,...heck its only been 8 years since he first piloted the boat ! He kept it to a scenic tour over an "educational capabilities flight"......with just a simple "this is what they call a steep turn" for fun....

Mom's next....I don't think she'll do too well, but she's a trooper...she'll suck it up and keep her eyes closed !
Thanks for listening.

Bloody AWESOME! Big congrats!
