| Experience: Pvt/Inst; 160 TT all in Cessnas (and not the fast mover Cessnas). A few ancient hours on the crusty T-37 sim back at the Springs. Short Term Goals: Keep chasing that zen state of instrument proficiency oneness with the universe and just have some fun flying on the weekends. Maybe bum a ride on something that huffs Jet-A once in a while. Long Term Goals: Comm, CFI, CFII someday. I'd like to teach primary part time so I can hopefully mentor the next generation. I've got a decent non-pilot career gig going on, so full time flying and cargo/pax ops aren't in my future. Maybe buy a plane with a good group of local pilots.

I have almost 50 hours logged. Been around aviation my whole life. I want to get my PPL by the end of the summer. Instrument soon thereafter. Commercial by next summer would be amazing. Get 1200 hours and then either go to Ameriflight or run my own 135 op. I might be able to get to a legacy faster through a 'regional', but I have little desire to play the contract feed game, unless Colgan keeps the BHB base. Uber long term, fly for a legacy, it would probably be CAL because of who I'm related to.
