CFI – Check

I guess I should toot my own horn for a second…  Finished up my CFI last month.  It was the hardest thing I have done in aviation, but for sure, the most rewarding!

If your interested in your tailwheel endorsement, or want some short field training, feel free to reach out.

No grass strips there, but I finished up my Commercial Engine Multi rating this past weekend down at Action Multi Ratings in CT.

Thanks Steve, Ryan, and Derek!
