Finally a flight instructor! This was by far the most exhausting and drawn out checkride that I’ve ever done, so I’m incredibly happy to be done with it. I’m even happier to start making money as a pilot though! CONGRATULATIONS KACEY!

CONGRATULATIONS to TED PHU-THANH-DANH on passing his private pilot checkride with DPE Cody Reynolds ON HIS FIRST TRY!!! Congrats, too, to his instructor, TYSON BEAMER! Ted had to fly our Cessna 152, N48340, to Corona Airport on Sunday night since check ride day, Monday morning, was forecast to be IFR. He stayed at a Motel 6 near the airport, which didn’t lead to the best night’s sleep with all the ruckus from other people staying at the hotel! Great job, guys!

Congratulations to YUN TZU CHEN on the completion of her Multi-Engine Commercial checkride with CODY REYNOLDS in N2126X. Her CFI was JOHN CAMPBELL! We can surely say that she is the only pilot ever to have a checkride postponed due to a forecasted hurricane in California! To all three of you -- Great job!
