Private Pilot Checkflights are very thoroughly planned by the students. A day before mine my examiner told me to plan a flight from Seattle over the mountains to Wenatchee. I spent a half day on this flight plan. I would follow a river and a highway towards...

The song in this video ran today on my last.fm radio. It reminded me of this video a former student of Island Coastal recorded - by the way Rosh, if you read this, thanks so much! I remember memories of the float training crystal clear when I hear that...

Bye bye Seattle. I did everything I wanted to do. I am a private pilot with seaplane rating and high performance endorsement, with just as little as 52.2 flight hours. Tomorrow I take a Greyhound to Vancouver. I'm going to miss the Emerald City. I am...
Post lesenEin schweres Amerikanisches Frühstück liegt mir im Magen. Fruit Loops, Ham&Swiss Toastsandwich und zwei Waffeln mit Sirup. Ich muss in zehn Minuten aufs Fahrrad sitzten und mich mit dieser Balast zum Flugplatz schleppen. Ich werde meinen Fluglehrer anflehen,...

Vorgestern bin ich hier in Lynnwood eingezogen. Ich lebe bei einer Homestay Familie, welche normalerweise High School Schüler aus Asien zu Besuch hat. Mit der Agentur hat alles super geklappt. Nur der Preis ist etwas hoch. Hier im Haus wird mir nur das...
