Do It Now

This past weekend, I hosted a party at the airport for a group of friends. We had food, games and airplane rides available for any who would like to go. I flew all afternoon! Everyone seemed to truly enjoy the day. I especially enjoy having the opportunity to share a little of my life with others. 

This morning I awoke to see that this picture had been posted on Facebook. I didn't even know that the picture had been taken! My husband says that he is always amazed by my transformation when I get to the airport. I become quiet, and very focused. As with all pilots, my first goal is safety, for myself and my passengers. I think you can see the focus in my face.      


I have been planning to do a video and talk a little more about this part of my life. It will come soon, I promise. It took a lot of hard work and determination to make this a reality in my life. And along the way there were a lot of funny stories, not so funny at the time, but hilarious now!

Is there something you would like to do...something special... just remember this;

    1. Love it! But...regardless of how pretty the landing was, if you can walk away, it's a good landing. If the plane still flys, it's a great landing :)

    1. I'm really trying to be a little better about taking pictures of me in what I do. Sometimes I just want to share it so that everyone has the info and there's only so much time. :)

  9. I think we should make a documentary - the Aussie and Yank, flying around the States meeting sewers with great skills and stories. This idea has been floating around in my head since I saw a post a few years ago about your flying. Nike!
