    Great to hear. I hope she continues to advance towards a license. How about by the time she comes to Oshkosh this Summer?

    She won't have any vacation time available with her new job. But she's DETERNINED to fly up next year. Plus, she'll have a little more experience.

    Very proud indeed. She's doing a ground school cram course in a couple of weeks for her written test.
    She passed the written some time ago. She was in school, life got in the way, test expired. I told her once she needed to get done before the test expired. Her response to me was, "I'm not worried about that test, I can pass it again!" She likes tests.

    Another step forward.
    She took a two day cram course this weekend for the FAA PPL written. She plans to take it this week.


    Update: She just texted me, said she's taking the test Friday.
