Since I was a young boy, I have had two enduring
passions in life. I have always loved to program and I have always been
fascinated by aviation.
I was the kid you saw parked at the end of the runway with eyes turned
skyward watching heavy jetliners and single engine piston aircraft alike
touching down and kissing the earth. I presume the look of awe and wonder in
my eyes 25 years ago is the same look you would see today.
After years of procrastination, I finally committed (with the support
of my family) to working towards my private pilot certificate. After 45 hours of
flight training (and a lot of adverse weather in the state of Florida), I realized the
dream I had imagined in my mind since I was a little boy ... acting as pilot in
command of an aircraft.
I have always believed that aviation is my professional calling in life.
Not being positioned to fly for a living, I thought I would embark on the
next best thing. I want to rekindle the spirit of adventure in aviation that
I felt as a little child (and still feel today). I want to share that passion
with others and allow others to share their passion. It's contagious and I
think it's important to spread that feeling across all pilots and future
pilots to help the growth of general aviation.
As with all online communities, participation is the key to success and
longevity. I am here to help this site evolve into whatever you and your
fellow pilots feel it could or should be. Please join me on our FliteJournal
adventure!
