Wednesday
Private Pilot Official
Big day for Jake - check flight for his private pilot license. I dropped him off at Fremont Airport and then made the twenty minute drove down to Tiffin, arriving just as Jake landed. I'll hang out here for a few hours as he flies with the FAA pilot.

I worked outside a bit as Jake went through the first part of the exam—different take off and landing types. Here he's approaching from the left.

Jake passed...with flying colors! It's official, he's a licensed pilot! He's worked so hard for this. I'm so proud of him, and excited for him, too. Nice work Jake!

Back in Fremont, Rex was quick to congratulate Jake, and was full of praise for his hard work and professionalism. Jake really looks up to Rex, for good reason, his congratulations really meant a lot.

We celebrated with dinner at Inside the Five in downtown Perrysburg. Debbie and Greg and Pat and Denny joined us, with congratulations to Jake all around. I couldn't get everyone in the photo!
