    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 […]

  • Back Again

    My last post on here was at the end of September in 2013.  The day I left on a trip around the South Pacific.  Since then, I went to ten countries, came back to Portland, and started a new job at GE Aviation.

  • Troutdale-Aurora-Scappoose-Troutdale Loop

    Yesterday, I had a successful flight from Troutdale to Aurora, to Scappoose, then back home to Troutdale.  I had my plan for going the opposite of this plan, but due to incoming clouds, this was the only way this flight was going to be completed.

    After many days of being unable to fly outside the traffic pattern of Troutdale Airport, I went flying yesterday and left the area thanks to it being a beautiful day in the Portland area.

  • 1 Year, 1 Month, and 1 Day

    That’s how long it had been since my last flight as a pilot.  Well, I’m super excited to say that the wait to start flying again is over!  I went up this Monday afternoon with my instructor Rick for an hour long flight around the Troutdale/Boring area of Oregon.
