I'm thinking its been a couple days now since my last post. Here's the update...

First off - I passed my written test today. That was a big relief. I felt like I'd prepared as much as possible for it - but you just never know... But I got a great grade - and now its onto the checkride on Thursday.

Tonight I flew up North of PHX to a little spot called Deer Valley and did my 10 full stop landings for night. Night flight rocks. Landing is almost surreal, too. It was a great time.

Although the night flight was a lot of fun, probably my most memorable experience was the first "Cleared for Class Bravo" of my life. Flew the East transition over Sky Harbor, which was a great view, and onto Deer Valley, then reversed it on the way home. ...and the air tonight was smooth as silk!

Got to get some rest. Tomorrow's an early morning for a mock checkride, etc. Wish me luck for Thursday!

Until then...
