NOTE FROM DAN:
Dear John, Denise and the rest of the
family,
Just a note to pass on some news in my flying career. As previously mentioned, I
started flying on March 1st, 2001. On April 17, 2001 I soloed. Now.... on July
3rd, I did my check ride with an FAA examiner and he gave me my Private Pilot's
license. It was grueling four hour exam, two hours of oral interview asking
everything from what the model number on the engine means to where, under what conditions
and for how long I can fly. Then the second two hours were spent flying with him and
showing him that I knew what to do with my eyes open and closed. Seriously....he had me
close my eyes and he put the plane into a steep dive...or climb, banking either
direction. I had to recover without looking outside the plane. It's called unusual
attitude training. After all of this, he informed me I passed and gave me a
temporary license. David Jean and their two foster kids were waiting for me at the
Bangor Airport when I got back. They had waited half the morning for me and it was
sure nice to see their smiling faces after it was over with. This was an awesome
experience and I am sure glad it's all over with. The license is mine to use (or not
use) for the rest of my life. I hope to stay healthy enough to get a few hours of
fun out of it. Today, I gave Trevor the first ride on my new Pilot license
(passengers are not allowed on a student pilot license). The rest of the family are
next, then half the Police Department who put up with me while I've been so
concentrated on flying over the last four months.
Candy, Courtney and Trevor all say hello. Busy working the summer away at Pirate's
Cove. Trevor got High Honors on the last semester in High School (Junior year) and
Courtney made the Dean's list as a Sophomore at UMO. Proud of my kids.
Love to all
Dan
