CFI In Hand!

Thanks for all your prayers!

The drive up to the Raleigh area yesterday went well.  The weather was decent enough to get some good full-touchdown autorotation training in this morning.  The checkride oral exam and flight test all went very smoothly and I'm now a Certified Helicopter Flight Instructor!

A nice thing about this is that in the process, my airplane flight instructor license, which I let expire several years ago, is now reinstated and current.  With a little recurrent training I can get back into that as well, if needed.

The trip home was good and it's nice to be back with the family.  Carrie's finding that single parenting is a mite bit harder than it was a few months ago, given her energy level.

Again, I appreciate so much all your thoughts and prayers.  The process went smoother than I expected it to.
