In the next few weeks I will be a certified Multi and single engine commercial pilot, moving back to my home town with ( Read more... )

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the breeze is blowing. After a long cold winter on the west side of Michigan, spring has arrived!! I have been spending a lot of time at a park just down the road from my house. 330 acres of beautiful rolling fields, ball diamonds, soccer fields, and paths that lead down to the river and lake. No ( Read more... )

So things have finally calmed down for me a bit around here. The stress has moved out for a bit and the relaxing has started. The Sunday before Easter I took my commercial check ride with Tennis. The ride went near perfect. We started with the 2 hour oral portion which went how I knew it was going to go. He talked for most of the 2 hours about ( Read more... )

We had a lot of fun. Got stuck when we got there about 500 yards from the cabin due to thick snow. Walked are stuff all the way through it, built a fire and ( Read more... )

Well, I should be in church right now but I went out with the fella's last night. I drove through the ice and rain, got pulled over for my headlight being out, and drank with the good ole boys at the bar down the road. It was a little bit of a celebration though. I accomplished my long qualifying cross country yesterday. I headed out around 10 ( Read more... )

So much as happened since the last time I updated. The last time I did was when I got through most of my check ride but had to cut it short due to weather. About 4 or 5 days after that, Mr. Tennis called me up because he had a cancellation so we went up and did the two approaches that we didn't get done. I shot the Full Procedure ILS 23 into ( Read more... )
