As of Monday, I am officially a PILOT! 👩✈️🛩️
After three delays due to weather, I finally had my checkride (the final step for getting a pilot license, which consists of an oral exam and a practical test). Here's a picture of me, the examiner, and my certificate after the flight!

Learning to fly has been AMAZING and I'm thrilled I've been able to do it during the pandemic. My flight school (@Fly7B2) has been good about masks etc during lessons & indoors. It's just a hobby for me, but I'm now obsessed with aviation and can't wait to see where it takes me!
For those interested, here's the track log from my checkride. Lots of maneuvers, almost two hours of flying. The examiner was very thorough, as he should be! Flight actually started at Northampton, but I had the GPS off for the first bit for navigation by pilotage/dead reckoning.
By the way, this is the airplane I've been flying. It's a very pretty bird. 😍 (Piper Warrior II, PA 28 161)
