May 2016 Elizabeth Reese: Mack Mesa Airport, Colorado, May 20-22, 2016
News from Elizabeth Reese.
Hi! Just came to the realization that I never posted an update I said I would after my (private pilot) check ride back in 2012! It went well, although I can’t say it went smoothly! There was bumpy air, we had malfunctioning headsets so it was difficult to hear one another, and there was lots of traffic that day that required the tower to request expedited landings and route diversions! I guess I handled all of those situations well because I passed, and my examiner even complimented me on my slipping skills! 🙂 I have included in this post a photo from that day.
