Pictures of Me!


CFI Checkride

This picture was taken right after I took my CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) checkride. The CFI Checkride is the most demanding flight test a pilot takes. It is a lot of fun after its all over (if you passed). I have since enjoyed my career as a flight instructor! Its more fun than a man should be alowed to have.

Another Cessna

This is just a picture of me standing next to a Cessna 172. I flew over to where my grandpa lives and he took this picture for me. It was taken at an airport in Michigan called "Freemont" and the funniest thing took place when I landed. I stepped out of the plane and closed the door only to realize that for some reason the door locked itself. They are not surposed to do that! I had one of the kids that pumped gas come over and crawl in through the baggage door which I had left unlocked. I was going to give him a ride in the plane but we both had to be somewhere.

...and here I am at the annual hot air balloon show in Battle Creek, Michigan!

I love going to airshows and any other aviation related event. Battle Creek, MI hosts the annual Hot Air Balloon and Air Show event at the W.K. Kellogg Airport (KBTL). I know people that work the event so I was able to find my way past the fence (notice in background).
