Last Flight in the Seminole

Well I had to stardardize the guy taking my position in Houston. I killed his left engine to test his reaction to the emergency. He did alright. It was the first time in over 200 hours that I had been in the left seat so I told him to shut down and secure the engine. Knowing It'd be my last flight in the plane I love so much; I told him to give me the controls. I took the controls and started flying at 5,500 feet on one engine. I was having SO much fun that I told him to take a picture of me flying the plane with the feathered engine. He looked at me kind of funny then I said that if he wanted to pass and keep his job he take some pictures. He did.
These Photos are at 5,500 feet on one engine (the right engine was running at full power). Notice that the left engine prop is not moving and turned into the wind. It was a fun flight....I passed him and got him on the insurance. I took a few landings though. I'll really miss flying that Seminole; Hope the Jet is as much fun.
