Hey guys. A big congratulations is in order for Wayne Pierce. He has successfully passed the Commander Checkride. This is a huge milestone here at AAV that not many of us get to this level. I did not read his evaluation since I haven't taken it, but I'm sure he Aced it. Congratulations Wayne, job very well done. Your Award is in your email.

Congratulations Wayne.
I believe this is the "Piece De Resistance" of AAV checkrides. "It can be thought of as the portion of a creation which defies (i.e. "resists") orthodox or common conventions and practices, thereby making the whole of the creation unique and special." (Quote from "wikipedia").
And you aced it Mate.

I will never forget that checkride. It's definitely a doozie.

Re: KLAX has another Commander Wayne Pierce
Great job Wayne. It was definitely the most challenging checkride for me. I takes a long time to get to 1,000 hours too.

As they say; "Love it" AA238857 KLAX-MOON-- Now that is a thought. I could fly the Retro Saturn V.Tom Pletzke wrote:Congratulations Wayne! I guess the commander bid would be something like AA238857 KLAX-MOON, AA238858 MOON-KLAX....
Thanks to all who helped me out during my tour of duty and the kind words of wisdom, encouragement, teasing..

Congratulations Wayne ! 
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be?--it is the same the angels breathe.

Re: KLAX has another Commander Wayne Pierce
Congratulations to the lofty ranks, CDR Wayne. Now that hours don't really count for anything (hint ... hint), you can fly a DC3 on every FREP and really rack up the hours!
