Now Where?

So it's been a while since I last visited. Of the few who read this I'm sure are all gone. Why stick around when nothing new has been added. As I mentioned airline life has come to an end for me. My wife and I decided to bring that to an end  and the end on last year. It was a great couple years! I had a blast. The Emb-145 was a fun plane to fly even if it was a bit doggy. I found that once I got comfortable with the plane hand flying to a visual was a lot of fun. 
What I found was the airlines were NOT a job. It's a life style, and you have to want to live that lifestyle.  In another life, I would have lived it. Where I'm at now living that lifestyle was not what me and my family needed. Of course things could have been better, but in many ways it seemed so many went out of their way to make the job miserable. The vast majority of the flight crew I worked with were great. Just good people to fly with. My "do not fly with" list was pretty small, and yes I had a list. Lol. 
I'll come back and revisit airline life again, but what I need to focus on now is the future. I have been focusing on getting back into the local aviation scene. I have a few leads for corporate jobs and that's what I'm focusing on. We also started a business in January, so the plate is once again full, keeping me very busy. 
Aviation has not been at all boring so far, so who knows what excitement it will bring me in the future. Here is a neat looking airplane I seen recently. I have to say it looks MUCH better as a tail dragger!
