I will say this NC is beautiful country! It was a lot of fun to fly out there!
I would highly recommend going out and visiting Oscar if you are working on your commercial! My only regret is not going there first!
It was an interesting week, I flew out on American Airlines
We flew an interesting approach into St Louis (My home town)
I will say this about AA, even though they had a really bad week with the faa, They did a great job! I even managed to get home early!
The twin training went very well. I loved flying the "twinkie". I had heard rumors that she was hard to land, but I thought she was great to fly and land!
Oscar is all about real training! You do actual engine outs! None of this pull the throttle and simulate stuff! He makes you really learn it. We even feather the prop so we could practice air starts!
The single engine portion was done in an alaurus ch2000 I think...I'm not to sure about that airplane! It seems a little to...cheaply made. I didn't feel real safe in it, however it does fly nice. It is fun to land and do engine out 180 maneuvers in. For as small as the wing are it is very responsive, and will float forever if you carry to much airspeed!
All in all, it was a great experience! Greg the DPE was awesome. This guy has more experience flying then a human should have! Retired airline capt, current corp pilot in a c650, current corp helicopter pilot (eurocopter) dpe fixed wing and helo. the list goes on!
It was great and now I can move on to the next phase the CFI, and already I am having "fun" trying to find a place to go for the school!

Congratulations! I will look up Oscar when I'm ready for my multi training. I just received my officil acceptance into the Applied Science Program here at Lake Superior College (and got a look at the flight training costs...whoa!). Time to apply for those loans! Keep up the great work...
