so happy for you and so well deserved it must be the best feeling in the world and the worst at the same time :D

all these years of trying and pushing and now you have done it will you lose the passion to keep on trying?

could not of come to a more deserving pilot and by far the most stylish pilot there as your body posture in the harness is perfect smooth and sure why you made it. :D :D :D
