Introduction

After much internal debate, I've decided to start a blog. I never thought that this would come about, and I'm still not even sure why it is called a blog and not a journal. But in the end, I've given in to the nameless hype in favor of publicly displaying my thoughts and actions for all to see... if anyone ever watches.

First, here's a little about me. At the time of this writing, I am 10 days shy of 21. Native of Luling, LA (About 20 miles southwest of New Orleans. I'm very proud of my home and its uniqueness. Flying became an interest to me when I first flew on a commercial airliner in 1994, at the age of 8. From that moment on, I was dead set on flying for the rest of my life. I began flight lessons in high school (2003), and achieved my private on June 5, 2005.
At the end of Summer, I began college at Louisiana Tech University. I've also come to love this University even with its downfalls. After screwing around for two years on my private, I moved through my instrument, commercial, and CFI in 14 months. I still managed to have fun too! My parents were very happy as it meant the end of them paying my flight fees (Thanks mom and dad). Since getting my CFI in August 2006, I have worked for Louisiana Tech as a part time instructor and full-time student. I should graduate from the University in May with a B.S. in Professional Aviation and a minor in History.
Other than flying, I really enjoy music, history, coffee, playing a little golf every so often, and cooking. I've been dating a beautiful redhead by the name of Marghee for a year and a half. She's got some typical redhead traits, but can certainly be sweet when she puts her mind to it.

Introductions aside, this blog is mostly about my career as a professional pilot. I'm starting it to review my own perspectives about living as an instructor, and hopefully moving on at the end of my tenure at LATech. If blogs are still around for a while, someone may look back and be interested. Otherwise.... I doubt anyone looks while I create mischief over here.

Oh... and the title of my blog is "My Airplane!". Every CFI and most students should know what that's about.
