Whoever thought that right as a cold front is passing overhead would be a great time to take a checkride has got to be off their rocker, but after making the DE wait an hour until the winds swung this afternoon, I got 'er DONE! I AM FINALLY A COMMERCIAL PILOT!!! WOO-HOO!!!!!!

The winds were insane, gusting up to 41 kts at times, yet the DE said my power-off 180 was the best he'd ever seen on a Commercial ride. (He was probably blowing smoke, but I'll take it.)

We'll finish up the ME add-on tomorrow, hopefully with equally good news to report then!
