Default Skyhawg the Private Pilot!

Well, I am still alive. Today I took and pasted my private pilot checkride. I flew to M89 and met with the examiner. The flight out there was uneventful, just a lot of controlled fires and it was getting hazy. I passed the oral with flying colors. It was too easy. I prepared for something a lot harder. All the rest went well except the left magneto wasn't working up to par. Ended up flying inspite of the problem and then I had trouble finding the airport because of the haze. Then hee congradulated me on passing and I headed back.

The haze was horrible on the way back and I got flight following back home. You guys are great. I am going to sleep well tonight!!!
