I was supposed to be leaving for ATC course on July 4th. And it was supposed to be at CRGS, same place as last year...

But I got a call that changed everything. I got accepted to Power Scholarship. So I wont be playing God in a tower with the planes.. I'll be flying one. (Flying Jon... not crashing...)

Looks nice. Have fun!

I've flown a Piper Warrior and a C150 myself... I preferred the Warrior, its more spacious and faster. Total flying time: 2 1/2 hours, with instructor :razz:

Last check in until ... well.. perhaps 7 weeks. Dunno if they have comp access.

So I'm gone, see you sometime.

As Orph would say: "Be good"

He'll lemme know who I have to give spankings too :biggrin:
