I started this blog before my first flight lesson. Read on to see what I fly today.
The dream to
fly comes true!
This blog tells my story - from zero flight hours all the way into the cockpit. I don't aim to sit in an airliner soon. My goal is to fly small airplanes to remote places. As you can see on the picture aside, I love to go back to the basics of flight. I am an old school guy who likes to read charts and to fly by compass and time. I like to keep it simple.
Every pilot's carreer is different. For many an aviation carreer means to pay back money for years and that is not what I want. I do small steps. It will take years to get where I want to be. But along this way I want to be free and mostly out of debt.
Why I want to fly small planes? Many people wonder about that and there is a simple answer. As a little boy, maybe five years old, I decided to become a Beaver pilot to research beavers. Of course I have never been serious about becoming a scientist!
I would be happy to see comments from time to time. I answer questions as well - feel free to ask!
Cheers,
Florian
