'raufo16' that's a nice human interest story there, well done.
I hope you can take that hard learnt advice from the many in here whom are in the know & make more good decisions along the way to hopefully a life long career in aviation. Come back here in say 30 yrs time (Krusty & I & many others older in here will be drooling at some airfield fence line by then) & tell all how a decsion for you like this one payed off
