Congrats goes out to Gideon Sober, DVA3768, who passed his Commercial Check ride in the DVA Flight Academy EMB-120 tonight. He did well, despite turning him into the sun and having him fly slow flight, stalls, etc. Nice job on the touch and go in the dark into Merritt Island btw
I think Gideon thumped the gator on the head over at Daytona, but it may have just been the bulldog - I haven't gotten verification which one got whacked yet... if it was the bulldog, he gets an A+, if it was the gator, well, we might have to redo the checkride LOL
Great job Gideon! Hope to see you in a 727 soon

Cheers! I hope that sometime by the end of the year I will have enough time freed up to get my license in the flight academy.

Congrats are in order! Way to go, good flying. Since you now have .001 hours logged in instrument (landing in the dark) conditions, hope you will sign up for the instrument course, which will be out soon....
