what an amazing story ! What a movie that would make !
Welcome to the site, I love it here and its brought alot of relief and laughter to my scary "wife of a pilots life" My Husband of 3 months left today for Ground School Training in Houston, he'll be flying ERJ-145's for Express Jet, He'll be gone for 45 plus days, almost as long as we've been married . My Husband has always had some sort of flying in his life. When he was young he was taken to the Air Bases in Germany and watched the planes for hours (he's an Army brat) and then later got a job during his school years working with an air balloon company in Arizona, Went to flight school right out of HS and then worked as a plane tour guide over the Grand Canyon, later he became a Flight instructor for Oxford Avaition/Sebena (when I met him ) He recently got hired on with EXJ and here we are today.
I work full time in the Mortgage/Banking world and I support him financially through training. We are excited about our future and love each other so much.
Its nice to meet you and hope you find this site encouraging !
