Badass! Passed my PPL Checkride!
Well guys, a year ago today on my 16th birthday I made my first full-scale solo in a Cessna 172. And now today on my 17th birthday I took my Private Pilot checkride in that same airplane and passed! I've been waiting my entire life for this moment and it's here!

Now I have to build time for my Instrument and other additional ratings, which means lots of cross-country flying. Guess my friends and I will be all over the place this year...

I couldn't be more excited!

RJ
