Flight Training

So it has been some time (years) since I have done this. While sitting at work today I figured this would be a good format for keeping family and friends up to date on my experience and progress on earning my private pilots license. Which I start this Friday June 14. For those of you who don't know this is a life long dream of mine. My father and grandfather were pilots so I have grown up around aviation. This is also a reason why I wanted to work in aviation. For those of you who don't know I am a Project Integrator (PI) at Bombardier Learjet in Wichita. What it comes down to is I am in project management working with the forward structures engineering groups on the new Learjet 85, my main project is the doors for the plane. I really like my job and it has already allowed me to contribute in a big very visible way to all levels of management inside and outside of the company. Back in April I traveled to Manchester, England to visit our supplier. Anyway back on topic. I feel very blessed that the stars have somewhat aligned and I will be able to use my aunt and uncles Cessna 172 Skyhawk to do my training in. I hope this blog will best allow friends and family to stay up to date and share with me this process and milestones I will come across. Some weeks I may fly and update more than others so just hang in there. Let me know at anytime if you have any questions or comments about what I am doing, the plane, or how to get your license!
