  • Downtown Portland with Josh and Meredith

    This week, I had the pleasure of flying Josh and his sister Meredith around downtown Portland.  Josh is looking to get his pilots license over in North Carolina in the upcoming future, so it was great to be able to get him up in the cockpit and show him what it is like to fly […]

  • Mt. St. Helens with Melissa, Tomas, and Kristen

    I haven’t flown anyone this year (2016) and since the weather was so lovely outside, I booked a flight for Saturday, called up my coworker, and got the ball rolling to go flying. For today’s flight, I took my co-worker, Melissa, who is a former pilot (way more experienced than myself), but she hasn’t flown […]

    I started talking about buying an airplane in the middle of last year.  I didn’t know for sure what it would take to buy one, I just knew why I wanted to buy one.  People out there have a number of reasons that they go with buying an airplane, and my reasons are probably pretty […]

    On January 16th, I started instrument ground school with one of my former private pilot instructors, Rick Payne.  Though I had written last time about the many options I had for ground school, after talking with him, he became my first choice.  As a CFII, He’s got the knowledge and the skills to get me […]

  • Instrument Ground School Options

    instrument ground school

    I’m about to start school again.  This time, it’s to continue improving my skills as a pilot and gain the ability to fly in the clouds.  Living in the Northwest, this is still optional, but for what I eventually want to do, it’s a requirement; as the local weather tends to almost always be overcast.  […]

  • Photo Shoot Then Flight Around Portland with Jameson

    My friend’s Cat and Grant are taking their daughter through a number of different careers one photo shoot at a atime.  This time it was being a pilot and I’m proud to say that she was simply awesome.  Born natural.  Sure, we didn’t actually go flying, but she took the controls in her hands and […]

    As a gift to David for his valued work as her employee and to get him back for recommending my services to her, Nancy, from my flight a few weeks back, paid the share for David and his wife Ashley (my college homie) to go flying for his birthday.  The weather was questionable up to […]
