Guess who has their pilot's licence?!?!?!?

Yes! I finally did it! It took me about 3 hours but I finally passed all the flying tests!

I finally got the hang of turning my airplane without doing barrel rolls and was able to circle the runway. Then I had to circle the runway AND land. I probably could have done that in 3-4 attempts only when they said 'BANK RIGHT for the runway', I kept going left and crashing because the runway wasn't there. My fault. :)

After I did that, I had to learn how to fly a helicopter. That wasn't so bad... until I had to destroy the targets, which consisted of 3 parked semi-trailers and then 2 moving vehicles. This took me longer to master than circling the runway. In the end, I just kept firing missiles in the general direction and hoped that I would get lucky (punk).

And the final test was parachuting and landing on the target. Fortunately there were no small pools of water for me to land face first in and drown.

And that was it... Pilot's license obtained. This opened up Las Venturas and I was able to carry on my missions for Woozie, the blind Triad leader. Much to my dismay, however, none of the first few missions for Woozie required flying skills.

Grrrr......
