January brought about a HUGE accomplishment for Andy. He is now a private pilot! I can not believe it and am a nervous wreck every time he goes up in the air but he has wanted this since he was a kid and I made a deal and had to hold up my end of it.... I have no plans to go in the little planes with him and it is one EXPENSIVE hobby. Of course Andy said once the lessons are done the cost will go down a little...yeah...a very little. He first got checked out in a Cesna 152 which is a very small 2 seater plane that is soo tiny but he passed his test on January 5 and is good to go.
This is a plaque that Mr. P hand carved for Andy (and one for his Dad too!) So amazing!
Andy Flying with his instructor the first time he did the "skyline tour" of the city. He took a friend of his with to take pictures. Andy said you really just follow the roads below. He took the Stevenson in and the Eisenhower out of the city. You have to watch out for the O'Hare and Midway traffic...YIKES!
