To all my furry flying friends: Just a progress update for all of you. Today I passed my pre-solo written test. I did very well . It even surprised me. It took a great deal of study time, but it is another confidence builder, and milestone on the way. My CFI Andy seems to be pleased also. It took a while to get over the first plateau in flight training, but it appears I'm now on another upward part of the learning curve. I am training in a 172 on Mondays and Thursdays, and in a 140 on Fridays. Its been quite a workload, but I feel good knowing at the end of the road I'll be able to do tailwheel AND tri-gear. It also offers me an option to make N1333a a taildragger, which I am seriously considering. I believe that my first solo flight is imminent, and to be honest..It really gives me the jitters! But I'm certain that I'll be able to talk myself into a reasonable calm state just prior to my first solo landing (think Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove!!!). So put your hard hats on, and steer clear of Gulfport/Biloxi International for the next few weeks. Next update when it happens!
