My paths in aviation

Just kinda want to post my flying adventures to one day look back at the long road that lays ahead now, but will someday be my past. Along with helping any new/aspiring pilots!

That moment you realize you never wanted to be a flight instructor! I'd much rather go back to fixin planes!

Multi-Commercial Pilot!

Woohoo, after two months of weather or maintenance delays, I finally became a multi-commercial pilot! I can't believe how far I've come and look forward to continuing as a professional pilot! Jan 6 2014

Got to turn off the engine, full feather and secure, then restart in flight!!! It was rather exciting ;)

Engine failure on takeoff roll!!!

Well today was exciting, after finding a chunk of the brake pad missing on preflight, and having maintenance promptly replace the pad, I had the joy of experiencing engine failure 10 knots before rotating in an Arrow. It wasn't as scary as I imagined it to be. I am just glad it was before rotating. On the bright side, the brakes work ;)

Ha the irony, last post was about a plane and skydiver colliding, followed by me skydiving...

[mr-e--pilot]

Skydiving was a blast! The decent after the chute was deployed was ever so peaceful.

Skydiving!!!

Just moments away from skydiving with the wifey! I hope the aircraft has at least the vfr minimum equipment!!! ;)

Let's take a moment to notice the pilot opening the door before impact (pic 6) old bold pilot?

Complex Finally got to fly the Arrow and feel like a real pilot! I've been waiting for the moment when I finally got to retract landing gear!!!
