Earned my Private Pilot Certificate!

[Daywalker]

I remember a topic a while back discussing pilot's certificates, and someone told me to be sure to shout out when I earned my certificate.  I earned it this past Thursday, and honestly I can't remember being so excited since my first solo last year.  It's been a long road, but I have never before felt such a sense of accomplishment.  It's been my dream to be a pilot since I was 5 years old, and now at 52 I can finally say when people ask me if I am a pilot:

 

YES, I AM. 

 

Thanks!

Well done Frank.

Outstanding on your achievement!

Well done, how many hours did it take you in total? 

 

A little while ago, I thought about getting my fling-wing certificate but now that I'm 60 and have Type II diabetes (for now), I don't want the enormous expense ($250+ per flight hour or more) and don't think I can pass a flight physical.
