Welcome to Oregon Airborne

This site is nothing more than a few simple pages about my own (Jon Eggert) flight experiences and interest. My first flight was a $25 introductory flight from Inter-State Aviation in Pullman, Washington on April 28th, 2000. That's where I had my initial flight training. I finished my private pilot training in Corvallis, Oregon and earned my license on October 4, 2001.

Upset Prevention and Recovery Training

This video is from a training course I took with Mike Kloch of Specialized Aero Works in Bend, OR. Although it's largely a highlight reel, I included a few exchanges with Mike that reflect how he teaches and coaches his students.
