As of last Monday Brandon is officially Instrument Rated. Which means he can fly by only using the instruments in his airplane. (Imagine driving a car without being able to see outside the car and you only the speedometer, odometer, and a GPS to guild you to your destination) This means he can fly in clouds. He has worked on this rating in one way or another for the past 4 years. But it has only been the last 6 months that we have seen any real progress in USU actually helping him learn how to fly instrument. With that in mind I modified the following Calvin and Hobbs comic. (Click on it to make it bigger)
Here Brandon is with his temporary instrument licence. The permanent hard copy should come in the mail soon.
Here Brandon is with the DVD of the first season of the TV show Tail Spin.
I bought this for him for Christmas of 2007 as the anticipated reward for him passing instrument. Neither of us realised it would be almost 2 years before we could open it.
Now that Brandon has passed instrument we can start on Commercial Flight. This shouldn't take as long as instrument.

Good job Brandon! You're our favorite pilot.
