Congratulations, J.T.! Great job on the checkride. George can rest easy tonight knowing that his pet gator "Wally" is still alive and well and you missed him on the go-around. See you in the commercial course.

LOL@Keech!! That's not a window in your office. It's a picture of the airport taken from a screenshot on Chris Williams' computer. It looked so real it even has you fooled every day.
