New views from up here

Another exciting week at work, and a few great shots as well. Here you can see lake Disston slightly after sunset. Besides some fun and pictures, I've managed to send already 2 students on their first solos this week! I can't hide that on the first one I was a little bit nervous... But the kid made a good pattern and landing!
It's very rewarding the sensation that you have teached that kid how to fly and he could take-off and land by himself.
Happily both of them came back to a safe landing!

I'm starting to build my hours slowly, and enjoying the beauty of flight training. I am doing my best to catch the magic moments with my camera, and I'll try to share those panoramic views with you, even if just a little bit. Tiring, exciting, hard, rewarding, fun, dynamic, professional. This would be the instruction flights in a brief description.


First student to get through solo with me. Well, I didn't spare him from the traditional water bucket and kick in the butt! I'm bringing some new culture to America.

Cheers =)

Happy halloween!

Yesterday night was halloween party, everybody dressing stupid funny costumes and of course, drunk. Needless to say no working today...
So, being long time away from these lines, I decided to keep writing here. Being a flight instructor in Central Florida it's quite a challenge: you get a lot of students, a lot of work and a lot of flying. The practice areas are so busy some times that you are literally afraid of going out there and hitting some one. But it's fun as you can see in the pics....


The view from my office. Well, I've seen better offices with computers and phones ringing.




Normal working day, line for take-off at KXFL.
And you get to see some funny things in this airport, like this:


And sometimes, you get busy days at Daytona for take-off.... Try to count how many planes are waiting:



Have a nice week everyone!
