To the skies again...

I am now the proud holder of an FAA Medical Certificate Third Class.

Next step: become the proud holder of a BFR (Biennial Flight Review) signoff from an instructor. That one will take a little longer. :-)

(Need a "flying" usericon. Can't figure out how to get Paint to crop a .jpg! Grr.)
edit: got one!

Woohoo!
(send the .jpg to me and I'll crop it, if someone hasn't already volunteered - Paint *sucks*.)

you trying to crop (cut out a part of) or shrink a pic in paint?

to shrink something down to size, click on Image --> stretch/skew and use the percentage thingey to shrink it down. if you do both as the same percent (50% and 50%) it'll shrink it down evenly.

to crop somethin out of a pic, use the "select" button (looks like a dotted-line rectangle, directly under "edit") and then select what you want. cut, then paste. to crop out the rest of the pic, if you look along the lower and right edge, in the very middle will be a black dot "handle" that will let you move the boundaries up and over to make it smaller. i have a hard time finding it usually.

make sense? this assumes you're using windows, which may not be a correct assumption. :(

Any particular plane you want an icon of?

Hey Congrats on the new cert

Woohoo! I have no idea what any of that means, of course, but it sounds good. So woohoo! :)

So does this mean you are a pilot? Just curious. Ever since I was a kid, it's been my dream to learn how to fly. I always tell myself that this is the year that I will look into doing it, but I obviously haven't yet. :)
