Tora! Tora! Tora!

Tally Ho Bill! Congratulations.

Dang, Bill, you continue to amaze. :Kaleun_Salivating:

Congrats mate! :salute: No mean feat, I know a few guys who are working towards theirs atm.

Traffic in sight, maintaining visual separation.

Congrats :)

:yeah::up::|\\

@ Bill, Platapus, Highbury & other aviators : By the way, just out of curiosity, what is the average number of lessons/hours of training required before taking the pilot exam ?

Congratulations Bill! If you want to see a F-16 up close and personal find a no fly zone ! :O: Have fun!

Congrats Bill!

:yeah:

I'm working on getting some schooling for a pilots license too

Good job Bill! Congratulations! :up:

Well done Bill! From beneath the waves to the skies! :yeah:

U.S. legal minimum is 40 flight hours, but the average is closer to 80. Living in the Washington, DC area is worse because it takes me 20-minutes to get outside the restricted area before I can do any training maneuvers. That means 40 minutes 'wasted' each time I fly.

I had 115 hrs when I took my PPL checkride.

I am not a good one to ask as it took me a lot longer as I started lessons when I was stationed in Colorado and finished when I was stationed in Nebraska probably a 2-3 year period.

And to be honest, I was not exactly a stellar student pilot. It took me a while to get the hang of it.

Congrats Sir!

your hard work and effort has paid off.

:salute:

@ Bill & Platapus : thanks for letting me know. :yep:

@ Bill : training manoeuvres being very simple ones (to experienced pilots I mean) I'm sure, and thereby considered as safe ones, may I ask you what would happen if you ever practice them in one of your so-called restricted areas, concretely ? :ping:
Just out of curiosity, once again.

Take note, Achmed. :har:
