It's on the front page, but especially wanted to post a HUGE CONGRATS to VAF founder and landlord Doug Reeves, who became the newest right-seat qualified Phenom 300 SIM pilot on Monday. He's ready to read your checklists for exploded engines, hydraulic failures and electrical gremlins. Up next? 80 SIM sessions working with SIM clients and he can earn PIC in the jet!
Seriously, Doug works his butt off and this class was a crazy amount of info and fast paced. So cool to see him chasing these dreams, all of which started with an RV and grew from there. As he once said, "A chance meeting at a gas pump in 1995 changed my life forever, so... I’m the luckiest guy in the world."
Super happy for ya, DR -- Community icon, RV pilot *AND* Phenom 300 Supporting Crew Member (part time) -- Awesome!!
Hopefully he can get permission to post the photo of him in the SIM upon completion. We'll still call it an RV grin, no matter what seat he's sitting in.

[ed. I got permission to use this picture. This is a pretty tired me after landing in my S7 (sim #7), the last day of two weeks of ground school and sim hops. What an experience! I can't say enough about the instructors and training, and I'm looking forward to running the checklist for CAE clients a day or so a week down the road. I'm learning a LOT!!!! v/r,dr]
