Dec 16th Flight Canx'd

The only cold and windy day in December and it has to be on the 16th. But, it gave me time to get my flight physical taken care of. I went to see Dr Wartman in Valrico, FL. He is a very personable Dr. I feel I got my money's worth ($95). I picked up my certificate the next day.

I faxed my certificate to the DUATS office so they could add me to their database. I then signed up for my DUATS account. I can now use all the flight planning software without restrictions.

I downloaded "GoldenEagle FlightPrep 2007" from the DUATS website. It is a scaled down free version of a "Pay to Upgrade" software package. Still trying to figure out of I like the AOPA flight planner or this new one.

Just found out today that my instructor Wes bailed on the company too. I got ahold of the head instructor and he will fly with me this weekend. So, my weekend isn't lost. I hope the weather will get better. Forcast says it is supposed to warm up in Tampa and be great flying this weekend.

Got my head in the clouds...
