I wanted to send a short note saying how I appreciated the hard work John did getting me to pass my IFR check ride. My confidence was shaky at best. John kept telling me that I was going to do just fine and he was right again.

I found out that John had over taught me and that the check ride was much easier than I had feared. I also became a much better bonanza pilot because of John. His knowledge of flying seemed to be endless.

There were times when I asked myself if I was too old (51) to do this and why would I push myself so hard to achieve this goal. John kept encouraging me and I am now very grateful and proud to have my IFR ticket! It was not easy for me but it would have been nearly impossible to achieve this without your program pushing me to “get r done”.
