I did it!!!

Well life couldn't be better, after exactly 151hrs of helicopter time I am a commercial pilot. I am so thankful for all the good things happening in my life.  I just hope I get over the last financial hurdle and get to finish my CFI & CFII on time at the end of this summer.  Positive energy will make it happen!  Thank you to all who have supported me in this lifelong want and helping me see it through!

Wow, it has been a long time

I guess one can say I have been busy.  So busy in fact I almost forgot about my blog.  Since my last post have have obtain my instrument rating and am currently into my commercial semester.  Today I took my first FAA practice quiz and scored in the mid 80's.  My plan is to take my exam next week followed by a successful check-ride soon after.  My IP wants to get me done before I leave to Germany in March.  This seemed crazy in January when I first heard his proposal, but I believe it is possible.  I have really enjoyed this semester and learned a lot from my Instrument training.  The main thing I learned that there is no room for self doubt in my cockpit and the most important thing is that my wife (YES I AM MARRIED TO MY LOVE!!!!) is my rock.  When I questioned myself she made me believe in my abilities.  Her love means more than anything in this world to me.
   My instructor for this semester is a great mentor with excellent teaching skills, it is bitter sweet to see him leave, but I couldn't be happier for him going off to fly EC130's at the Grand Canyon.
Happy Flying!
