I passed my checkride today! I’m officially the newest Commercial Pilot on the block. Huge thanks to my good friend and instructor during this intense 5 days, John. Also enormous thanks to AFIT for the accelerated program, and thanks to that beast of an airplane for enlarging my arm and shoulder muscles. Amazing experience and the Best Commercial training I can imagine. With John and AFIT at Sphere One Aviation.
