Thanks, Jon. I couldn't help it, I went on GoogleEarth Street View and enjoyed driving and looking around. There is something weird about it. All properties about the same size, all seem to have their own land also the same size, for farming. I wonder if this is a Commie-like result, but the homes seem to reflect the individuality of the homeowner. Someone should find a way to translate text from pictures, it would be interesting to read the signs and postings while driving along in street view.

No fold, he must have used a large envelope, wasteful government spending.
@jon-nyc Why would it have been addressed to the Secretary of State? Why not the VP?

Aw c'mon, every teacher knows to make the student face their demons. The guy in the tower should have said, "look, go to 1500, you're going to freak out, probably go into a stall, and tumble towards the ground with the plane ripping itself apart and you'll die in a fiery explosion, in agony, and screaming in horror."
Or, take a deep breath and try again. Up to you, babe.
I am a natural teacher you see. Don't know why, I just got it. Instinct.

That was really bad. I have never heard anyone, flying solo, sound anywhere near that bad.
I have had a few students sound like that, but I was sitting in the plane with them.
Will she ever be allowed to fly a plane again? To me, that video indicates that she shouldn't.

Maybe. I'd say she has a 15-20% chance of ever soloing.
My guess is that she will quit and never come back.
The rule-of-thumb is that only about 20% of those who start private training will earn a private certificate.
There are many reasons, time and money are the big reasons, fear is another, but it doesn't get as much mention.
