Another two years to fly . . . .

First time I have had to do a BFR with a "stranger" (It was kind of nice having my own FBO!)

Fortunately Randy Rantz at Rantz Air in Wenatchee is no "stranger" to flying. He checked me out in his "orange pumpkin" 182. Apparently, I didn't scare him too bad, because he signed me off to keep going.

Randy has the 182, a 172, and a 152 and is an excellent instructor. Look him up if you want to do a little Eastern Washington flying. It's beautiful terrain out here!

Flying Adventures

Many people ask me what it is like to own a flight school - how did I get started, is it fun, is it hard, do I get to fly a lot, do I make any money.

For years people would come in and tell me they wish they had my job. If only they could break away from the daily grind and do something they love, like airplanes and flying.

Although I have decided to move on to other things, I don't regret a minute of it, and would I do it again? Absolutely!

If you want to know some of the ups and downs and hard landings of this business, take a look at the "VIEW FROM THE RAMP" below. It tells the tale - once upon a time . . .
