Flight Date

I finally got my wife to come on a flight with me!  Haha, we saved up some extra cash to do this date.  I got to fly her around on a scenic tour of the Twin Cities while her parents watched Isaac for us.  She had fun but wasn't interested in taking the controls... maybe someday!

Yep, that engine is off

You can actually see the prop in this picture because that engine is off.  Yikes! Haha, that's what training is though! Simulating emergencies and learning how to recover.  Identify, Verify, Fix or Feather.  That's all I've been saying on my long drives home from the airport.

Field Trip

Today I got to go on a "field trip" with my class from Academy College to some of the hangars at MSP.  It made me feel really excited about the possibility that if I continue in my training, I could fly this CRJ someday!  That's what I love about aviation, goals can be so tangible!
