For those that haven't tried flying, you don't know what you're missing!
My Dad taught me to fly before I could drive.
First it was gliders, then his Cub, forklifts, motorcycles, cars...
in that order.
20 years later I started my "official" flight training.
I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in June 2000
with a
Commercial Single and Multi Engine Instrument certificate
with tail wheel, high performance, and pressurization endorsements.
I towed banners the end of summer 2000 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
I finally took my CFI ride in November 2000, now I'm a teacher.
My initial 135 ride was with L.A.B. Flying Service of Juneau, AK
in March 2001.
After getting laid off from Aerial Sign because of 9/11/01, I decided
to get my CFII & MEI in January 2002.
I returned (2/02) to L.A.B. in Juneau as a line pilot, company instructor,
and check airman.
Passed my Part 121 ATP Written while on vacation in 5/02.
Laid off again, this time I'd already made plans to take a vacation
for my ATP ride so that's done (10/02).
I really didn't want to spend the winter in Alaska anyway.
I did a short stint with Safari Air Charter, it turned out to be
a part time gig (02/03).
As of 12/03 I'm flying for LAB again, there's a posibility of becoming
Chief Pilot if I can get a deviation approved. At the least I should
get checked out IFR in the twins.
Next in line?
Anybody need a Pilot, Co. Instrucor, F/O, or F/E?
