Yep. It’s official, folks.
Dodo can now say he’s a pilot.
Man, I rule.
It’s weird, but Guinness actually does taste better when you’re a licensed pilot. Go figure.
And here’s a video my ninja wife took when she snuck up to the airport to watch my flight test.

Can you hear me cheering?
That is soooooooooooo kick ass… but DUDE!!! 201lbs… you need to get a BoFlex
Well, 201 is what my medical cert. says, and these things all need to match up. We’re dealing with feds here, okay? Now I’m usually a lot closer to 190. And before we left I was about 225.
So there.
But hey, thanks!!
heehee… just thought I rub a little salt in your wound… now that you’re a pilot I don’t want you getting a big head. I’m just trying to keep you “grounded”
And hey… my baby turns 1 on Friday… CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!?!?!?
Hey – awesome – living the DREAM, dodo!
and good to know i wasn’t imagining it — your photos look like you’ve lost weight since KC. Being in a tiny copter is good motivation eh – or just totally not having time to eat with so much studying?
COngrats Dodos!!
Those things don’t carry a whole lot of fuel, and they burn about 9 gallons an hour, and fuel weighs six pounds per gallon. So, the less I weigh, the longer I can fly. So yeah, it is good motivation.
To be honest though, I probably sweated out about fifteen pounds during the first couple months just from being a tweaked out bundle of nerves.
But THANKS!
fantastic work, doug. fan-friggin’-tastic.
