"I'm a pilot."
After a sweaty 2,5 hours of flying with my European examiner I got back to Gillespie Field. The instructor shook my hand, said "Welcome to the club" and stepped out of the plane.
I stepped out of the plane as friends and staff at the school came running towards me. It was a very overwhelming and emotional moment. I was a pilot. I made it in six weeks. Six weeks of glorious, focused, hard work.
My good friend and then-instructor at my school (he's since moved back to his beloved Switzerland) Thomas Bergen snapped this, like the true artist that he is.
