Checkride rescheduled for Friday, October 19. Ceilings were too low (TAF at Flint called for 2,200 AGL, which might have been enough, but why try to run scud with the FAA in the right seat? Actually, I would have gladly done the ride in IMC except for the unusual attitudes, etc., but one could forgive the examiner for wanting solid VFR.
So I left on Friday for my cousin's wedding in Rhode Island and recorded the update while walking around Newport.
Note the sign above. Never met the guy, so there might be something to it when people say, as they often do, that I don't know Jagschitz.
My brother, Dave, at the marina. He's a sailing nut whose primary toy in retirement will be a sailboat of some kind. There way plenty to drool over at the marina.
The crew of teh CRJ that I took from Providence to Reagan National. I love CRJs. Solid feel, maneuverable, and efficient.
A shot from the layover at Reagan National. A group of US Airways employees seeing off a jet that presumably carried US military personnel. I got a glimpse of the banner as the bus drove by from the aircraft to the terminal, but didn't catch whether the personnel were on their ways home or on their ways out. Either way, I thought it was a class act on the part of US Airways. Way to go, guys!
