May 16/14 – PPG course finished

So PPG course is finished. The first three and half days the weather was awesome and then it started to rain and got windy. Brent ended up with 17 flights including couple detours into the beanfield. Ha ha. Yes manage 35 flights even though he skipped couple sessions. And David can only make it out for times I think and is now sitting on eight flights in his log. I owe him whole bunch of training sessions and some to Brent as well. Great course, I loved you guys! The only downfall was this stupid chest cold that doesn’t seem to want to go away.
