I’m heading out this weekend to fly the Westwind and Lear 31A, presumably. I’ve been invited to do this by an owner operator, and am very grateful for the opportunity, for sure.

I am very much looking forward to that new airplane experience. Like soloing for the first time; initial aerobatic training; flying behind two engines; seaplanes; gliders; and warbirds; the jet experience will be every bit as unique.

I’ll be turning 60 in little more than a week, and have begun building options that will shape what the next 10 years will look like for me. Full of opportunity.

……I’ll update this post with my experiences next week.

Fly safe!

Fully retired now, unless something interesting comes along. I’ve enjoyed a lucrative career as an Electrical Engineer, Certified Software Solutions Developer, and Project Manager. An excellent and fun career that I’m very proud of. I began flying commercially in Dash-8 aircraft for Piedmont Airlines, and moved on to instruct in the Gulfstream 280; WestWind; and Astra jet aircraft. I’ve also been blessed with a type rating in the B-25 bomber in a fortunate turn of events. My wife, Beverly, and I currently own and operate a beautifully restored PA30 Twin Comanche, which we use to explore the CONUS.
