Chris Prine, DVA4949, passed his PPL Checkride tonight in the EMB-120 - despite controller issues, he did a good job and flew the airplane very well.

Yep; it was me. No CR yet, though. But when it comes to be time, I think (read: hope) I'll be ready.

It never ceasess to amaze me the layers and levels this VA has, I have started my flying with this va from bone scracth as long as there is a dva online and I am flying it will be with this great group of pilots... Thank you senior staff for all your hard work and time you devote to this project. If there is ever anything I can do to help DVA please dont hessitate to ask...

Special thanks to Jim Warner, to helping me get my flight lessons set up..
A very special thanks that I will never be able to help enough but if you ever need it, is to Jim Pray, with all his promotions and extra responsiblities here at DVA he took the time out of his day to teach me and show me more.
And thanks to George Lewis for our flight last night was a lot of fun, and thanks for showing me the shuttle that was really cool...
