Spent my day working in the basement on the simulator room. Hung about 10 sheets of drywall successfully, based on what I learned watching Scot.  Cleaned up the work area and did some electric work as well to improve work area lighting.

Next – I haven’t been flying much, so I hit the simulator (still upstairs) to perform approaches into Low Country airport (KRBW) and Kissimmee (KISM). I used actual weather to represent the storm cells moving through now, and the challenging weather enroute.  This 10 year old (or more) simulator is still every bit amazing. Current version syncs to the iPad and really improves the experience.

Holds – intercepts – three RNAV approaches – one ILS approach. Everyone to minimums.  I’m felling ready …  now if we could just get the airplane through annual we’ll be good.

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.
