The Sun N Fun fly in is wrapping up tomorrow. I feel sort of incomplete about the whole thing, but am satisfied. My wife and I attended on Friday, April 20th. We hit the usual sights and had a great time. One of the highlights to me was to sit in the captains seat on a KC-135. My wife took a photo on her cell phone and we are in the process of getting it formatted to post to the website. It just solidified my hopes and desires to get my career moving along.
Business at the flight school has hit an all time low. I am beginning to get concerned about whether I can continue to make enough money in my current situation to keep the lights on. If business doesn’t pick up quickly, then I may have to abandon ship and move on to another position.
I really feel that with my current qualifications and resume output, that I am mere months away from the next big move. My hope is to stick it out until then…
Every year that I go to Sun N Fun, I walk amongst such accomplished pilots and often feel inadequate. Though I did have some minor thoughts along that line this year, the basic situation was much improved this year due to the incredible strides that I’ve made during the last 12 months. I was able to walk around with my head a little higher this year and I feel that this next upcoming year is going to be the greatest yet in terms of advancement.
One of the mottos of Sun N Fun is “Kick off of the aviation year”. Now that Sun N Fun is over, its time to roll up my sleeves and see what I can pull off this time around.
