The Countdown Begins


It is 10:43pm and I am typing in my comfortable room here in Raleigh, NC. I have been experiencing a strange feeling of anticipation of what's to come. Only 4 days until my flight to Phoenix. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited. Life is good, I am fresh from a memorable experience at Oshkosh a couple of week prior. Now I have the tunnel vision on what's to come. I bought the ticket now its time for the ride. I will begin my flight training at KIWA in Phoenix AZ through ATP. I have a vague idea of what to expect but I know that I will make a smooth transition as I have always been able to adapt to my environment with ease. Although with an average temperature of around 105 It should be "different". This is the beginning of an exciting time in my life that like a fine bottle of wine will only get better with time. So here I go...off into the hot Phoenix sun to master the art of flying...time for the ride.
