First flying job

Duck_Twacy · October 11th, 2007, 17:49

Not too much to brag about, but I'll be doing photo, sightseeing, and ferry flights at the FBO while going through their CFI program, with another opportunity to pick up some "significant hours" that I don't have the details on yet.

I'll still be cubicle bound, but will get to take a break every now and then to do some paid flying, w00t! M'gosh, is that a light down at the end o' dat dere tunnel?

So let's see: C152...slow flight...ground reference...crosswind landings in the winter winds....sounds like CFI'ing, only I'll be doing all the flying!

That is awesome man, and now you will have something to look back upon after you make it to the big birds.

Awesome man, what airport and company will you be flying for? I did "Bay Tours" out of Hummel when I was doing the CFI thing there. For the most part, it was always a good experience and the passengers always seemed to enjoy themselves. I got some decent tips most of the time also.

Enjoy!
