Yeah, this is a twofer. I had a flight on Thursday morning and again this morning. I've got another one tomorrow afternoon. My credit card is about to self-immolate. All I can say is: "we don't need no water, let the m-f'r burn".
22 landings. I've performed 22 landings in the last 1.9 hours. I don't fear them anymore--I'm just trying to get better at them. (landing with a crosswind is a real bitch)
I think my CFI wants to solo me. The problem now is my health. (what's new?) To fly, you have to get a 3rd Class Medical certificate. I thought it would be no big deal since I generally lead a "normal" life--it's not like I had heart surgery and they are worried about my heart giving out during some bad turbulence...
But according to the doc, Crohn's is a disqualifying condition. That means that I have to file for a "Special Issuance" from the FAA. My AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) is doing that for me and he's fully confident that the FAA will accept it, but it's taking a while and costing a boatload of money.
Soon. Soon the skies will be mine and mine alone.
