John - excellent news mate...........this is what it says on my certificate:
"You defied gravity and and joined that elite band of aviators who flew then landed safely on Terra Firma".
Well done mate
Cheq - I find that the biggest bonus for me now is not having to worry about studying for exams/uni etc. This Christmas will be the first one since I was 5 years old that I won't have to worry about reading for an exam or doing homework/coursework - so that is a pretty good feeling. Also, the finances are much better, but now I work the standard week, getting weekdays at the flying school is difficult, especially as my instructor only works week days (a good excuse for a week off!).
Well, when I started this thread I never ever thought it would reach 1000 posts!
Thanks all,
Lee
