Congrats are in order to Gideon Sober for passing his PPL checkride this evening. Once again the gator almost ruined a perfect landing, but Gideon pulled it off. His flying skills, turns, slow flight navigation etc were above standard and his ATC communications was excellent. Great flying tonight. We look forward to seeing him enroll in the commercial course when it is released soon.

Well done Gideon! Glad you did not end up as gator bait. Rumor has it the gator has actually been aircraft spotting.

Well done and welcome to the growing ranks of PPL holders.
As for the gator bait, I heard it was the remains of PPL candidates the couldn't make the grade.
