Friday photo: Joseph Ermel private pilot checkride
The moment: Private pilot checkride
The pilot: Joseph Ermel
The place: Bolingbrook’s Clow International Airport (1C5), Bolingbrook, IL
The aircraft: C152
The memory: It was a thorough and fun exam. After months of diligent studying, practicing, and preparation, I felt confident enough and was proud of my deliverance. My mind was set on earning my PPL for years, and I worked hard to get to this point to succeed. I am grateful for all of the support I’ve received over the years from my mentors – and especially my Grandfather, Arnold Zimmerman (EAA 205374.) Now on to the Instrument ! See you on the Flightline!
