Finally Makin Money

So, Again I apologize for the long gap in posts. Ive been keeping very busy on the airways and in the traffic pattern. I took two of my college friends down to VT for the Boston College game. It was a 745 game on a Thurs night, so i took a half day from work and was wheels up by 2 pm. We landed at BCB in the PA28R-200 Arrow right in front of N1VA---the governors jet. We went downtown for some food and to relive old times. The game was awesome but really cold. We won of course in what was one of teh best games of the year from a hokie fans perspective. We ended up walking back the 2 miles to the airport but it was alright...it warmed us up. An IFR departure into the cold black sky and up to 7000 I went. with temps hovering around freezing at that altitude i was on the lookout for ice. Sure enough like clockwork we began to pick up ice. So back down i went and out of the clouds and ice. the rest of the ride home was uneventful to say the least.. Just another night on the airways.

So, I have my first student since passing my CFI. Pete is a hand-me-down from another instructor who has since left the flight school. He has about 15 hours under his belt and is working on his private rating. Hes motivated and makes my job easier in that regard...but he has some stuff to work on. Nonetheless...this has been a tremendous challenge......I will let you know when he solos.
