But one of my closest friends and teachers died this morning. He was an inspiration for me to take my enthusiasm of flight to the college level and one of the first people that I knew in high school.

If you pause the video at 01:12 you can see my name atop the black board.

I'm going to miss the guy and the help he has given for my flight purposes. I know you may not know him but it helps ease the pain by sharing this. Cry

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Something should be invented to Get rid of all drunk drivers Angry

. Cause my close uncle was cycling one day when a drunk truck driver did a hit and run on a smooth straight where people drive fast. He was in hospital for a week. Luckily he survived. Undecided

Hey, guys. Me and my brother have set up a paypal donation account to raise money and start a college fund for my teachers daughters education. If you could we would hope that you will please donate whatever you can for the cause. We are actually selling shirts to remember him by and raise money that way, but we are unable to ship them out of the area. If you can donate on the second page where it says enter shirt size can you put donation only. I would greatly appreciate it. Even a small donation will help us out.
