  • Just stopping by to say Hi

    Hello everyone,

    It's been awhile, I have been very busy as now a father of 2 (6 year old girl and an 11 month old boy) and undergoing professional flight training. In fact I just passed my ground portion of my checkride this afternoon and got a discontinuance due to weather, I will be finishing up the flight portion next week (from this posting). If Travis stops by for his reference I am not training under part 141 I am under part 61.

    It's been a long road with some struggles to get where I am due to my eye injury but its more than possible. I have no useful vision in my left eye, and I had to get a SODA (Statement Of Demonstrated Ability) from a medical test flight with either an ASI or DPE, its the FSDO's discretion there. It took 1 year & 6 months just to get that taken care of after I started flying under a Temporary 1st Class Medical (needed to see if I could get a 1st class to make sure I could go to the airlines if that is what I choose to do).

    Since I have been doing a lot of IRL flying I really don't fly in MSFS that much anymore, it really does take it out of you, I don't know why but it just seems that way, at least for me. I hope all of you have been doing well, and I will try to stop by from time to time to check back in.

    Wow! The Panthers win the Stanley Cup (again), Mel Brooks announces Spaceballs 2, AND an update post from Spartan all within the same 30-day period?--what a time to be alive!

    It's great to see how you've been tackling new challenges head-on... congrats on all fronts!

    BTW, the wife and I found our new favorite vacation spot not far from you (she became a big fan of Yoder's). I'll have to connect the next time we plan on driving out there!

    Happy 4th and happy upcoming birthday!
