Default Greetings from the Canyon



Not a great photo taken with my cell phone. I am here now and in training.

Should be wrapping up ground school on Friday and start doing some checkride prep on Sunday. Its going good so far. Pilots are flying about 5-6 hours a day and we are expanding operations into some other areas nearby so it looks like plenty of work this season. The flying is pretty demanding despite the VFR stigma. the conditions can get tough around the canyon and density altitude is always in play.
