Great job Bill! You now know that there is nothing we can say to describe what you have now experienced so please take a meager congrats from somebody who understands the pride and excitement and all of the other emotions that come with accomplishing something like you have. Well done.

Best,

Great job Bill! Glad to hear things went well. When I started on my 7A a couple of years ago you were at that point where I am now. Your success provide great encouragement! Have fun and be safe.

Way to go Bill!

I've been following your progress with interest since we had been progressing at about the same pace. But you beat me. I expect my first flight in about 2 weeks. Again congratulations and keep us posted about your performance and experiences.

Bill,

You've come a long way since you gave me the tour in your basement last year. Congrats on a great first flight, and lotsa luck with Phase One testing.
