And Congrats to our newest Commercial Pilot, Allan after nailing his checkride! Great job Allan!!!!
Congrats to this guy, Alex on passing his Instrument Checkride!!! A little late in posting (my bad)….but awesome job by an awesome pilot, in his awesome plane (Grumman Tiger)….
And here’s the landing in KRIC. Relatively smooth ride considering….
Storms Saturday pushing through NJ/NY as we briefly hold south of KACY. 1 lap in hold and we then diverted to KRIC
This guy was MUCH taller than I expected!! A true pleasure to have met him…as pleasant and personable as he comes across on his channel…
Whether it in the plane, or working the Redbird FMX, I love teaching!!! Wish I didn’t wait half a lifetime to start doing what I love…. And I still have so much to learn….
My favorite time to fly ! Beautiful sunset followed by a calm clear evening of night flying and stop & gos…..
Beautiful sunset and nice still night 😊 flying the 182….
A reporter wanted to know how difficult it would be to fly/land a plane if you had no experience. Well, we both learned something.
He learned just how difficult it is, and I gained a new respect for the controllers who talk pilots/passengers down. Not being in the sim to see what was actually going on as i tried to talk him through, based on what i saw on ForeFlight, was just as eye opening for me.
Great job all around to the real deal down in Fla!
Great weekend of flying! 2 round trips up to KAQW in the Adirondacks. Great airport with super friendly people and a great restaurant just outside the airport (easy walk)
Nice return flight to KFRG from KEWB in the Grumman Cougar …. Nice to be back in a twin 😊
Coming in a few weeks!!! Contact me or Long Island Aviators for more info or to register. :-)
Just some old articles that were published in Air Facts Journal a while back. Each certification I get is just another license to learn, just more advanced each time. The moment I stop learning is the moment I hang up my flying career...until then, I learn...and share :-)
