Yes, I did. He was my instructor for my CFI. He got hired just as I was finishing. Kirsten Swedberg was my instructor for everything else. She was a check pilot when I left. She said the only efective technique for instructing thick headed Marines like myself was to take my D cell mag light and beat me over the head with it . She was really cool.

I haven't kept up with everybody there very well. Me and Andy Monroe started the PPL audit together. He was instructing out of Addison TX. I visited with him a couple of times when I passed through. He was killed in a crash last summer after hitting a bird.

Oh man, thats terrible. I hadn't heard about that. I didn't really know him, just knew the name.

I flew with Ryan for everything except SE commercial and CFI/CFII. Great instructor. That must be where I remember seeing your name...next to mine on the schedule...haha.

What are you doing now? Instructing?
