Well, after a lot of self studding I should have my instrument written
endorsement tomorrow I think I will take the test on Monday to kick off the
new year on a good note then off to work on the commercial written its time
to get them done and over with. My airplane is ready to ...

There are two of us in the family who are studying flying. Barry has
just finished his Private Pilot training, getting his certificate on
Tuesday, and I should be finished within the next few weeks, too.
We're both going to continue on with Instrument training. I figure that

Even though they're not required, I wanted to do some.  Since I hadn't

instructor time.  Slightly less of an impact on the fun-meter though.

go to HELL !!!!
