It's been a long time since I've posted anything on our blog because I've been so busy this summer. To summarize: I left my flight instructor job in Atlanta on the 15th of July, flew back to NM for a week, then flew to Atlanta, drove to Jacksonville, FL, where I took a one week regional jet course, then drove to Chattanooga, and finally flew to Dallas on August 1st to start training on the EMB 145/140/135 for my new airline job.
I'm now on my sixth week of training and it's been an amazing experience so far but I'm homesick and ready to move back to Chatty to be with Mel, the kids and even Portie. I'm close to finishing up with only the simulator sessions remaining. Below are some photos from the more exciting non-classroom stuff that we did last week.
