| Re: Desertdog is a CFI!! Woo Hoo!! Wow...Great Job and Congrats man! You have really put a dedicated effort in and finished in "ATP type" timeframes at a 'lil' ol flight school. This is a great example of how it can be done that way. I think Don should really like to use this as ammo against us "pro-big school" guys in the future. (Not a dig Don...at all). |

| Re: Desertdog is a CFI!! Woo Hoo!! 8 months isn't too bad I guess. I could have finished faster but I took a couple breaks along the way and caught up on the book knowledge. I have a couple more add on rides to do yet but I am thinking I will be done in the next 2 weeks with those.

| Re: Desertdog is a CFI!! Woo Hoo!! Congratz Van. It's nice to see someones success from a school, as ILS put it, "operating out of a double wide in BFE". Actually, it should be BFK, but anyhow... I think it's much better that you took 8 months to get to this point than going a "90 day program" type route. The seasoning time in between makes for a more highly experienced pilot. |
