Congrats to our host on his new ratings. A lot of work while still running VAF. Go Doug!
Terrific achievement. Hope your children realize that Dad has basically earned a Phd in aviation thru home study and determination - a great example for them (and the rest of us). Never stop learning.

Congratulations DR!!
This is such a great example of the realities of visit on - folks sit on the outside and complain that it is just to expensive to become a pilot, become a commercial pilot, own an airplane, etc. Well yes, IT IS to expensive, it always HAS been to expensive…..but where there is a will, there is a way, and whether it is a teenager pumping gas as a line boy, sweeping floors at an FBO, or washing airplanes….or an adult spending copious amount of time in the right seat of a sim, pulling gear and executing checklists - there is ALWAYS a way.
So if you know a kid or an adult that REALLY wants in to aviation (or you ARE that kid or adult….), you don’t have to write a check to get in - just put your nose into it and find a way - like Doug!
Be like Doug!!
