Yet another wannabe pilot!

EineBeBoP · January 14th, 2007, 13:57

Hello all!
Ive been lurking these forums for several days now, and finally decided to register and start posting.

Im 18 yrs old, and Ive only finished 1 semester at a local JC, but becoming a pilot is my first choice in careers. I live very close to KVNY, and im hoping to start lessons there soon. Im also taking At 130 at Glendale Community Colelge
( http://secure.glendale.edu/schedules...TRANSPORTATION )

I found this forum while doing some research on Embry-Riddle (Decided its probably not for me as I don't want to end up in debt for the rest of my life

)

Anyways, I hope to become an active, productive member of this community! See you all around.

ok, i have to ask...how did you come up with that forum name???

Welcome aboard!! don't hesitate to ask questions or get involved in the conversations...that's where/how you'll learn the most!!

dc3flyer · January 14th, 2007, 14:45

Welcome!

EineBeBoP · January 14th, 2007, 15:07

Started using the name about 3 or 4 years ago.
Ein is a character from one of my favorite Anime series (When I was a HUGE geek, instead of merely a big one

)

and "bebop" comes from the shows title: Cowboy Bebop.
And... I was too excited with the new name to research spellings so... i ended up with an extra E that I decided to keep.

It's a fun and exciting job, but there are some decisions to be made. Choose your FBO/school wisely. I wouldn't attend an academy type school as they will sell you books and sim/CRM/737 type programs that are useless for an individual at that point in their career.

Hey I live in La Crescenta and went to Glendale college for one semester. I train out of WHP (Whiteman).
Drop me a line if you have any questions. By the way we are going to have a SoCal get together on Feb 10-11 and you are more than welcome to join us.
Check out the Meet & Greet section for more info.
I almost forgot, welcome aboard!!

Im surprised how many people on these boards are actually local. Thanks a ton for the offer.

Yeah, Jtrain told me about the M&G earlier in the JC chat. Ill definatly try to get down there. Sounds like an awesome time.

Welcome to JC! Great group of people are here, you'll enjoy your time here.

GreenDayPilot · January 16th, 2007, 03:19

Hey, welcome aboard!

I see those damn glendale airplanes all the time... I work out of WHP as a flight instructor, so I'll probably see you around some time!

Triumph_in_the_skies · January 16th, 2007, 16:45

Haha, "damn" glendale planes? Why tha hate?

Does the school own their own planes, or does it look like they rent them?

The school owns their own planes and they have their own instructors, they all fly out of Whiteman (WHP).

Im not sure what i really expected, but it really wasn't that

(I haven't called to talk to the Aviation dept. head yet)

Seems like that would be the cheapest way to get your PPL, doesn't it?
