My Private Pilot's Certificate
As of November 16, 2002, I am now an Instrument-rated Private Pilot! 
As of July 31, 2002, I am now a Private Pilot! I'm legal now!!
This page is as much for myself as it is for other people so I will be
putting up documents that are relevant for me as well... Please let me know
if there is something you would like to see on this page and I will
consider it!
And, for those of you who are worrying... Don't worry!
I will always try
to fly safe!
Also, for those who are looking for my old piloting page,
here it is! I am no longer maintaining it
though!
