The Journey Begins -- 18 Aug 2008

Signed up for Flight School on 18 August 2008. Met the crew of instructors at WNC Aviation and am thrilled to be finally earning towards my "wings". This represents a life long dream of flying and will open an era of fun and enjoyment that I've been denying myself for decades. Ready to get airborn!

I'll know I've arrived when one night I take my kids and Carole up for a flight, break through the clouds and enjoy the beautiful moon, stars and silence of near-space in our own plane!

Dave,

Nice work! You show a greater depth of understanding than your logged time would suggest.

Nothing like jets. I hope your adventure would lead you into the cockpit of one down the road. I would love to have a T-45 as a pet. Adolph Galland got to fly the prototype Messerschmidt 262 jet fighter. When asked what it was like, he replied "It was as if angels were pushing." Amen to that. It's still true today.

Cheers,

Dave
