That's great man! I'm still waiting to hear from the CFRC, my paperwork arrived in North Bay on Friday, but we did just have a long weekend.  :)

With a PPL, you don't require any ground instruction or a written exam  :)

If you already have your PPL, you can get a GPL in 2hrs solo and 1hr dual. That's what I'll be doing.

It'll be at a nearby gliding club, need PPL with 50hrs PIC, Glider Pilots License, and 5hrs tailwheel with a tailwheel check-out.

Yeah, that was the same reasoning that caused me to start flying on my own. No regrets though, because now I have some cool flying opportunities coming up, such as a volunteer role as a tow pilot  :)

I am yes. Yourself?

Alright thanks! And oh man, what are the odds?

Hello! I recommend you check out Cadet-World, you'll probably get more replies there. http://www.cadet-world.com/cwforums/forum.php Blackdown is really nice, you'll have great staff, in my opinion the food is quite good, and there's a fair bit of stuff to do there (range, obstacle course...

Just an FYI, the "Jr. Member" underneath people's usernames does not indicate their CF status, rather the number of posts the have made on milnet.ca. Also, excellent post by pudd13!
