Ralph Snyder, DVA1148, Assistant Chief Pilot for the 767, passed his PPL checkride tonight in fine fashion! Ralph, thanks for not smacking the gator on 9L tonight  You did a wonderful job and of course, we'll see you in the commercial course, which is officially available as of today.

but you get more points if you put the mains on the bulldog stuck in between the gators... the tricky part is, the gators are always eating the bulldogs...

It was a blast! Literally - we blew the gator off the runway with the prop wash!
I can't emphasis enough the dedication and professionalism the DVA Flight Academy staff emparts. If you haven't taken advantage of this 'free' service, then you are missing out on a great opportunity. If you have the time, and you FS system is up to the task, then sign up. After taking just the PPL course, I'll guarentee that you'll pass and future equipment check ride at DVA or I'll double your money back!!
Now I have to decide how much time to rest before tyring the Commercial course.
Again, thanks to all the DVA Flight Academy staff - especially, the ones I flew with, Jim Warner, Scott Clarke, and George Lewis.
-Ralph

Great Job Ralph, regain your composure and jump on in to the Commercial course. I heard you damaged hulagirl. Had to be you, she was fine last time I saw her.
