He was with the FAA so free of charge

. He was and "old timer" and very laid back....nice guy. He put me at ease right away. The oral was about 3 hours and the flight only 1 1/4 hours. The aircraft was a PA28R-180 that I had over 100 hours in. As the weather was getting worse I kept hinting at stopping the flight and finishing on another day. I'm glad he pushed me to finish it. When I talked about the exchange of controls during the passenger briefing he said "I don't want to fly...you do all of the flying and just teach me." He said he didn't have much time in the PA28R and it had been a long time. It's been so long since I did any instrument flying I will need a PPC to get current. As for right now I will teach part-time and go from there. I have a good government job and my desire to go to the airlines has diminished over the years. My first flight as a "paid pilot" is this coming Wed so wish me luck and thanks again!!
