Very cool.

Rommel, when is your next flight?

[Boopie]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

My sister became a commercial airline pilot after years of logging in her hours as a student, and later becoming a flight instructor.

Now is the perfect time for anyone interested in becoming a pilot. After Alaska Airlines recently canceled one of my flights, the rep told me the industry is down about 10k pilots. That’s consistent with what I’ve read.

Been flying for a living 22 years now, G550 currently. Never gets old. Enjoy yourself.

I did all my training in the 172, great little airplane very forgiving. I think I might still have some of my private training material laying around if you wanted them. My recommendation is to have fun on the cross country and pick interesting airports. Enjoy the flying, also hope your planning to get your instrument as one day it will save your life!

Thanks, that would be great! I've always had that as part of my plan and it's also what has me taking my time. Wanting to feel ready or more prepared for any potential scenario.

Currently the PPL includes 5 hours of instrument work, so at the bare minimum to be comfortable with radar vectors, etc. However, I feel much more comfortable obtaining the instrument rating one day.

Its a great additional skill set to have. There will be a day, cloud are reported VFR close
To MVFR you get up there and your in the soup.

Right now, I am watching the Military channel. A friend of mine, F-14 driver names Terry Dietz, is giving commentary about air to air. He was in VF-51, the Screaming Eagles, and based aboard USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) same time I was. A great guy and pilot.


I am MUCH better looking of course, I wonder why they didn’t pick me to be on TV!?!?!?!?

Indeed! Seeing this happen to a pilot that uploaded the content to YouTube made me look at it all differently. Things can change quickly at times.

That's pretty cool, Paul! Surely they'll have to feature you in the next one!
