Thank you all for posting congrats. It was an adventure but that is all I can say about it. I prepared and practiced over the holiday break. Big thanks to Wayne Pierce for reviewing the checkride. I am glad to have completed this before my 10 year anniversary in June. I feel, and have always felt that this is the best virtual airline on the internet, and everyday I am reminded by the interactions with all of you that this is true.

I am more happy about the gold toilet with the pearl handle and silver seat and 50" TV on the back of the stall hooked to a laptop computer (running x-plane) on the left, and an iPad on the right with charts.
