Default Finally Got It!!

I finally got my turbine waiver today! I have spent so much time trying to get here and it has finally paid off! I will never have to have my wife hold the jet while I try to start it with a long allen wrench! (I think she is happier than I am!) I love the Ducted Fans for helping me reach my goal of turbine flight, but I won't miss it.

I want to thank you all for the help during the last year! I could have never done it with out your guidance through all of the DFs in the past! (and the current turbine!) Can't wait to fly with you all!![sm=thumbup.gif]

Congratulations Kenny! Any idea what your first turbine plane will be? I originally planned on flying with you guys in Bakersfield during the second weekend of November, but I had a prior committment.

Congrats Kenny-

I guess that makes me next in line with my Roo! (Now just have to finish everything up, and get her checked out by my TCD).

Thank you all!

John O.,

My first turbine plane is the Rookie with a P-120. I have been flying it at the local runway that is always empty and does not require the waiver. I am very excited to get to fly at other fields with other turbine jets! Sorry you won't be making it on the 8th, maybe next time!

Sung,

I will be bringing the Rookie. Whats this I hear about a jet you own that uses two P-160s!? Look forward to seeing you on the 8th!

Terry,

You know it really wasn't as hard as I thought! Had a lot of guidance through it all though! Man if feels good to be legal. I go to these fields where there are 2-3 jets in the air flying together and I get so excited to be a part of that.

Mark,

I will be looking for your name on the AMA website for turbine waivers! Good luck!
