check out what I got today :D (1 Viewer)

[Philip_G]

Finished the checkride a few weeks ago but finally got the temp certificate today, I'm always nervous until I have the temp IN MY HAND, and then until I have the actual certificate issued (which can take 120 days) but at least I have something to show for it now. Sorry for the smudging, that doctor's scale weighs heavy, I swear to god.

 

[Philip_G]

once they issue the permenant certificate it'll look like this one, just thick paper, not very impressive for $35,000 is it :frowning:

I got some nice plastic gold wings too, but I'll spare you guys that one

 

[Ron Etaylor]

Congratulations! Enjoy

 

[Philip_G]

heeeeee a license to corrupt our nation's youth
just a party waiting to happen
now I only need a job :frowning:
OK one more and I'm done showing off for the day. :b
the back of the commercial

it's all fun and games until another HTF member posts their ATP certificate and CFII and MEI LoL

 

[Richard Travale]

Congratulations! Soon enough you'll be hanging out with John Travolta and his wife at the pilots club

 

[Philip_G]

fuck john travolta

Cool! Now anybody can copy your signature! If I were you, I'd smudge it out with photoshop.

 

[Philip_G]

I don't really care. To copy my signature (for any useful purpose) you'd need to know my name, which is smudged. To do anything damaging you would need to know both of my certificate #'s and my name. my signature tells you nothing.
you would get more info digging old bank statements and check carbon copies out of my trash to be honest.

 

[Max Leung]

Ok lemme guess:
Gubenheimer? Gustof? Greta? Goober? Gumby? Gorfendorf? Gritmeister?
It's gotta be one of those! I'm psychic!

 

[eric holm]

Damn Philip,

You're either an NFL running back or you're almost as fat as me!

Just kidding.

Congratulations.

 

[Philip_G]

it's the scale, the scale I tell you
better watch it, I used to work off 72nd on the edge of tigard and portland (on 72nd just before the 72nd/217 ramp, if it's still there) I'll come back and sit on you

 

[Alex Spindler]

Hmmmm, so what will the movie on this flight be?

Congrats!

 

[Kevin Potts]

6'2" and 244lbs? That doesn't seem fat to me. Hell, I'm 6'5" 290lbs and I'll be damned if I'm fat!! Maybe big boned, but not fat.

 

[TheoGB]

Nice one!!
Hey Philip - weren't you in England not long back?

 

[Philip_G]

England? nope. ALmost bought a triumph, does that count?

Wow, I can pretty much see where you're talking about from my office. I'll shut up now!

Might want to scratch out the last 4 digits of the postal code -- that can be tracked RIGHT to your doorstep (or PO box or what have you).

Oh, and CONGRATS! I seriously considered doing the same myself at one time, but never put the money down to start lessons. One of these years though!
