One-eighty degree turn!

If you saw my last post on Positive / Climb you could probably feel my sadness for having to return home and not being able to fly anymore, but guess what? I never left! Life sometimes treats your like crap, but you should always look on the bright side of life. Success is inevitable.
Just as I was about to leave for the Azores, I was offered the amazing opportunity to fly left seat on one of my dream aircraft, a Cessna 402 Businessliner! It was with great happiness that I realized someone noticed my passion and dedication to aviation and tough I deserved a chance to actually become a commercial pilot.
Since I had already purchased the ticket to the Azores, I went home for a week to say hello to my family and friends. As soon as I returned, I flew the required adaptation flight and I was on my way.
I’ve been on the job for the past three months and it’s been a lot of fun. From the people I’ve met, to the responsibility required, the airplane and the places where I’ve flown, it’s all coming together to make this one of the most exciting experiences of my life!
In just a couple of days I will fly home… As pilot! For the second time ever, I will fly over the North Atlantic Ocean in the Cessna 402B on what is expected to be a 6 hour flight to the Azores islands. How great is that!!!?
Thanks for reading and come back soon!
