Rockstars

Pilots!

Please join me in high-fiving two excellent pilots who knocked out some checkride goodness today!

First, the newest Private Pilot in the world! One US Private Pilot Ryan D scored his wings with DPE Mark D in Cessna 739!

Way to go, Ryan!



And... the nastiest checkride there is... one which, at one point, had a 25% initial pass rate...

...was just decimated by our own Nick K -- the newest FAA Certified Flight Instructor in the world! And on the first try, awww yeah! Nice work Nick!

Nick flew with the Riverside FSDO using both Cessna 739 and Bonanza 11N.

So awesome. Way to go Nick!

Nick may be joining our CFI roster shortly! After the celebrations wear off anyway...



Not much else going on:

Cessna 61Q is cruising.

Cessna 68U isn't bothering anyone.

Cessna 739's LED landing light is very stylish.

Cessna 94M owns the sky

Cessna 63B is in for Annual.

Cessna 17J is being repaired.

Bonanaza 11N makes CFIs all day like it was nothin.



It's warm out! The fridge is well stocked -- please make hydration part of your pre- and post- flight briefings! It's pilot-making weather!

Blue Skies!
