Thanks for the congrats, and it's definately all of those Yogi-Bear
It took a while to get there, but well worth the effort. I originally started in 1986, doing only 10 hrs 30mins, as a student living at home, but then ran out of cash. I didn't fly again until 1999, since which time I've been working towards the PPL.
Time, money and weather as usual
Thanks to Mr B.Tupp too for quality instruction up to about 30hrs, before leaving to fly for a local airline.
I guess I really start to learn from now on
