Passed Check Ride in the ATR-72

Here are some photos from the airplane that my fellow first officer and I flew this week with our instructor...it feels good to escape gravity, at least for a little while as we shot approaches and practiced single-engine operations.

It's always a huge sense of accomplishment when I pass a check ride in a new airplane. This is the biggest airplane I have ever flown, and it flew like a dream. Landing this thing is a snap. Unlike my last airplane, it doesn't feel like I'm landing on pogo sticks! It's nice to get back to normal, and even nicer to be back in the skies! I'll try to put some other pictures on here that are NOT flying pictures...it's just so hard not to do it, though!
