First Post-also my first flight!

  Went for my first flight a few weeks ago, and just today decided that i wanted to put up a blog about the flight training. This is the first out of many many years of flying to come and I am very excited to get up in the air and learn all that i can. Some day i hope that my flying ability will be used to help someone,  change lives, like flying has done for my life.


  Because my dad has been so supportive over the years of my flying infatuation, i thought it would be fitting to have him share the experience of my first flight lesson. I was extremely happy the day i started because it was more than a dream come true, but the fresh start that i have been looking for. The transition into the life that i have wanted to live. To commemorate the occasion, i made a video of the first flight. During the flight and the preceding ground lesson, dad took some pictures and video that i have now compiled into a 20 Minute long video . Here is the link, i hope you enjoy it!




 My Aunt Susie moved to Alaska a few years ago, so that she could raise her Siberian Huskies For the Iditarod race. Ever since then i have been interested in Alaska. When you combine my love for flying, and the longing to get outdoors and hike and explore and hunt... you get the dream to bush fly! Thus my interest in the Piper Super Cub, or PA-18.  The ultimate Super cub for me is the aircraft that has 31 to 35 inch bush tires, lifted, with an extra fuel pod,S.t.o.l kit, and a 180hp engine.
But i suppose that is a long way off yet. ;)
 I am excited to start this journey and i am even more excited to be able to share it with all my friends and family..

I look forward to sharing with you, and I hope you enjoy the pictures and videos! Feel free to comment and leave your thoughts! 

 Thanks!

This is the type of airplane that i want to own some day. This particular plane is owned by Shaun Lunt.
 Shaun has his own blog that you should check out with all of his pictures of flying in Alaska Check it out!
