The realization of a boyhood dream. Private Pilot July 17, 2006 Instrument Rating August 19, 2010. Monday, March 26, 2018. Oil Change and a Once Over. Overflying Dover, heading North. Not a big change in direction, just having to pass my left turn towards 58M and then double back. Having been through this routine before, I knew this would change as soon as I was handed off to Philly approach, and it did. Philly gave me direct 5.

Wednesday, July 9, 2014. My Journey to the Commericial Ticket. Though I had no desire to make a profession. In Pompano Beach, which is near Ft Lauderdale, Florida.

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Tales of the Tin Goose. I started Tuesday morning by having breakfast with another graduate school friend, Cherokee, who works in Indianapolis. I offered to buy her breakfast, but when the hotel credit card machine would not take my card, our waitress threw up her hands in frustration and declared that our breakfasts were on the house. It was a windfall for us both, I suppose.

Sunday, February 10, 2013. From Amsterdam, it was only a short flight to Hamburg, where Oma Uschi and Opa Hannes awaited us. This boy was a sweet travel buddy. Waiting to board his first international flight. We happened to be there during a week of vacation in Germany, so thanks to my amazing aunt and uncle, we were able to spend a week on the northern island of Fohr. We all shared a beautiful vacation home and spent day after day in the sand and water. Showing off some lovely sea shell finds.
