Training was from the 5th until about the 12th and then we were ready. Pretty much it was just a crash course in all of the systems and programs they use to do all of the planning and ATC coordination for each job.

The 206's and 210 are out and about, currently in the south so the other guy was flown commercially to his deployment area on the 15th but I stayed behind as my 206 had been brought back to base at the end of the year to be annualed at which time they also put a new engine and prop on as well as doing a bunch of other work. It was not ready until this past week, but I finally deployed and met up with the other guy on Friday.

Today was actually my first day of production flying, flew for ~5hrs. So far so good! Already have reached Gold membership status with Holiday Inn lol.
