Default Lurker No More

Hey everyone.

I've been lurking around this board for almost a year. I registered a few months ago, but have finally gotten around to posting a little bit about myself.

In a previous life I dealt a lot with Macintosh computers, but since Sept '03 I finally decided to pursue my aviation dreams. Currently attending Utah Valley State College's online degree program, I've been instructing since March '05 and recently went over 1,200TT in December. I am based in Green Bay, WI and love how Austin Straubel is a Class C airport with a Class E type of traffic. Next door to our flight school is a charter company that has an unspoken agreement to help any CFI's with corporate aspirations to sit left-seat on any Part 91 legs. I've been lucky enough to fly Chieftains and 340's and now I am studying for my 135 checkout. Getting paid to play (fly) is about as good as it gets. I love what I do and can't think of much else I would want to do.

The cranes do, but not the snowmobiles. Ice machines also come from this town. Next time you go to a hotel, 9 out of 10 times there is a Manitowoc ice machine there. Manitowoc Company has a Citation Bravo and Excel and it would be pretty sweet to get on board with them someday. A good friend of mine got me in touch with the chief, but insurance limits me from getting right-seat flights. All in due time.

Just guessing, I would say they're 2,500, type, and 100 in type. (?)

Welcome aboard!!!

2000TT and I think it was 500ME. I talked to the chief pilot today and he said that their insurance was up for renewal. So you never know.

I talked to the chief pilot of the charter company tonight and he said that my 135 checkout will be done within two weeks guaranteed. Good news.

Did a death march for some grouse a few days back. Only saw 2 and they flushed too far away. The next opportunity is for a Thanksgiving turkey in May.
