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. Congratulations Wayne. That is truly an accomplishment sir. Welcome to the executive lounge.

Congratulations Wayne! I guess the commander bid would be something like AA238857 KLAX-MOON, AA238858 MOON-KLAX....

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.
Thanks to all who helped me out during my tour of duty and the kind words of wisdom, encouragement, teasing..
Enough of that just throw money!
Wayne

Congratulations Wayne !

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!
