Default I'm a pilot!!

Its been 13 years of waiting since my first discovery flight in a Cessna out of Sugarland Airport in Houston. I was only 8 years old and I knew I wanted to be a pilot! Today, Ive finally accomplished just that! I've had some struggles in my training and lots of flight school horror stories, but in the end it has all worked out!

Had my checkride today out of Riverside Airport and luckily I did well enough to pass! I'm proud, excited, and anxious to build up some cross country time in order to get started on the next step in my training!

This website has been a great resource for me and I want to thank Doug and the community for their help!
