Another one bites the dust....
Passed another FAA checkride today. I am now a fully certified commercial pilot in both single and multi-engine aircraft. This one was a LOT easier than my multi-engine checkride last week, but I was probably still just as nervous. It also took about 1/2 the amount of time as the other one. Now I can get paid to tow banners...

Two lessons in strong winds today. Nothing like flying an airplane at about 2,500 feet, slowing it down and STOPPING in mid-air. I ALMOST got it to fly backwards. I've only managed to do that once in a heavy wind in Florida. Landing was.....interesting. Due to the strong headwind, it took about 2-3 minutes just to get from 1,000 feet to the runway. Good news...

Well, that boring weekend just got worse. Seems the lovely people I've been freeloading a wireless internet connection off either either forgot to pay their cable bill or decided they don't want highspeed access anymore. I can see their router perfectly fine, but it has no connection to the net, no DNS servers, nada. How do I know this? They still have the configuration password...

Well, it's official. My weekend is gonna be boring as hell. I'm trying to conserve money to make sure I have enough to get everything done (and it's gonna be TIGHT) so going out isn't much of an option. My friend from MI won't be down here for another two weeks, so I've got the house to myself. If I wasn't going insane from boredom,...

Okay, so if anyone needs a pilot to fly an airplane with more than one engine, I am now officially your guy. The FAA saw fit in its infinite wisdom to grant me a commercial pilot license for multi-engine aircraft. Yeah, bitch. I'm all legal and shit now. Too bad I only have about 255 hours total, so no insurance company in their right mind...

yeah, we saw star wars up at city walk. I know roonwit plans on seeing it again at Disney, as do I . I figure if I am going to see it again, I might as well do it on the digital screen. And as for the ewoks, someone brought in the Ewoks movie to work. Everytime I walked through our green room between shows, the stupid ewoks were on the tv, I wanted to through the movie away, ended up locking the cabinet with the tv in it so no one could watch thaat movie (It's good to be the person with the keys) 
Ah ha! Due to a technicallity I wound up with an A in Airline Management anyway. I wondered how 15+15+25+30=100
I've actually been flying a LOT lately. Not as many pop-up thunderstorms in TX as there are in FL, and I actually got to fly through clouds instead of around them yesterday. Flying out tonight from Arlington to scenic Texarkana tonight to get the rest...

Well, I did get to fly on Tues, which rocked. Went up and did some manuevers to get ready for my commercial certificate, then I can actually get paid to fly these things. I was supposed to do the same thing yesterday, but the weather here sucked total ass yesterday.
Right now I SHOULD be in a twin engine airplane flying down toward Houston, but...

Holy fuck, I'm actually going to get to fly tomrrow, assuming it doesn't storm. That would seriously piss me off.
Anyway, I made the trek from Memphis to Dallas (okay TECHNICALLY Arilington, TX) on Sunday, so I'll be here for 6-8 weeks getting my flight ratings knocked out. After that I'll be employable as a flight instructor. The trick is finding a school that will...

Well, it's been eons since my last entry, but hey. There's been nothing to talk about. Nada. Zilch. Zip. Eh, you get it. When you live in the middle of nowhere and your sole excitement in life is getting ahead on your college homework, life is pretty dull. I had a job for two days, but I didn't feel like blowing myself up pumping gas...

I am officially in the armpit of the South, northeastern Mississippi. Florida didn't work out near as well as I had hoped, so that was a total waste of money. Now, I'm waiting on a student loan to come through, and hopefully Dallas, TX will work out much better. Not a big fan of TX, but I managed to...

It could be worse,I am not sure how but it could be
Now why would you fuss at Stealth? It's not like any of the aircraft are real at the moment.
