Congrats dude. Isnt it weird now, knowing that you can virtually rent a plane anywhere in the US, and fly anywhere, anytime you want? It was really a shock to me, and its still kinda unreal.

Congrats!
IFR is a lot to handle at first, but once you're done with it it's not too bad. ;)

That's one nice thing about this program is they don't beat around the bush. I had been flying the Seminoles about a week and they had the checkride scheduled. Sure was nerve racking though, five flights in the airplane and it's time for the checkride.

Only 5? Wow, I think UND has something like 17 or so, plus like 5 sims. I dont know the exact number, but I know its a lot more than 5.

I'd have to look but we had a lot of sim time. Before the actual flying so we had the flows down already.

Congradulations, all of you! I hadn't flown for 12 years due to family problems. I have gotten my 170 to the paint shop with an instructor. Now I've passed my biannual. I'm just waiting for the FAA decision on my medical. I think the application is good, but I haven't heard anything. It's been four weeks. If I don't hear anything by six weeks, I'm getting with AOPA and find out how to bug them. I NEED TO FLY! 8)
