Default Hello from San Antonio area

Hey everyone!

New to the forum, currently 302hrs and climbing, waiting on Commercial ASEL checkride. Private with instrument rating, and would love to get up and fly with some locals. Currently enrolled in a CFI/CFII course for November and will be instructing after that until I can land a part 135/91 gig or make it to the regional mins. Nice to meet you all!

Earned my private SEL in '92 wit about 100hrs total but took a 25 year unintentional break...pursued another career and family. Took on a new position with a justified flying mission so I got current last year (oh yes...lots of new avionics goodies out there now!), got my instrument rating in June '19, and have just under 300 hours. Picked up my personal flying machine - a Mooney M20F. Now I dream of maybe taking advantage of the pilot shortage if I can get my commercial instrument/ME and get a freight or commuter position over the next few years. I'll have a few years of age left by then. Still a dream but a dream is the start of a reality!

I have 1700TT in puddle-jumpers, time I accumulated several decades ago as a CFII-MEI. I dreamed of becoming an airline pilot, but was too old, given the flood of military pilots returning and getting a lot of the cherished positions--I'm happy they had something to "come home" to--they deserved it.

My thing now is to learn what I can in order to continue writing a trilogy about a young guy who desires to get into the left seat of an airliner. I'm now working on the second book in the series and looking for info about getting on with a regional in order to build the experience/hours needed for major airline jobs. The story is cast in 2010--2011.

I'm curious about your comment "Took on a new position with a justified flying mission"--Many years ago I applied with MAF, is that the sort of mission you're talking about?

I started commuting about 300 miles to a clinic/hospital as an ob/gyn. I'm there usually 3 days per week and then return home. I end up driving a fair amount though because I don't have TKS or boots.

aspiring pilot. Veteran and university student. Will start PPL in January, then Instrument Rating, then planning to transfer to ERAU Daytona to earn degree and rest of my ratings.

Default Introducing myself

I've been out of flying for many years for medical reasons and age, but I love staying up to date with the aviation world. I substitute photography for flying these days so I'm sharing some pics from my gallery. They're unique Photoshop art and very compelling. I hope you'll take a peek

Thanks for reading

Hello everyone,

I’m a fresh 1500hr CFI about to start at a regional. Instructed along the east coast of Florida in 40year old Skyhawks.
Long term goal obviously is a legacy but focusing on the present and being able to finally fly something with some thrust.

Hello everybody!

I'm new to the forum, 1200TT CFI, in the US on an E3 Visa working and loving my second career. Looking at Regionals who still hire Australians on an E3!
