Congrats are in order for Ralph Snyder, DVA1148, who passed his commercial checkride this evening. Eventhough the cockpit was full of empty Mountain Dew cans and the windscreen was covered with pine needles, he was able to qualify his pilot skills to the commercial standards.

Thanks everyone.

For those who haven't had the chance to experience the DVA Flight Academy, please give it a try. Scott and George have put together a great program that is worth the cost at twice the price!! Don't worry about creasing the aluminum - if Keech and I can survive the course and live to tell about it - anyone can!!

-Ralph

Way to go Ralph! Congratulations.

Thanks for cleaning out Mountain Dew bottles and pine needles. I plan to use it later this evening.
