It's a small world

It was a good day of studying and taking in the scenery. I also received the official word that I will be switching/adding the responsibility of teaching flight next month. I will have my first four flight students starting in July. That adds a healthy dose of encouragement to pass my tests. I will keep you posted. Until then, enjoy the view.

p.s. These pictures are shot with a photographic effect I have been experimenting with called tilt-shift. You can read more about it here.

Flying over Spokane

I am almost done preparing for my flight instructor test. Today I studied in the back of a 206 while a student flew a cross country around northern Washington. I take my first two written tests on Monday.

Commissioning service

Last week we had graduation and the commissioning service for the class of 2011.  Many parents, relatives and friends came out to celebrate.  It was joyful and somber as we reflected on many years of hard work, rejoiced over the excitement of finishing and looked forward to the challenges ahead.

Floatplane

We even fly planes for fun on the weekend, just little ones and while standing on the ground.

Too much rain
