My first flight was a $25 introductory flight from Inter-State Aviation in Pullman, Washington on April 28th, 2000. That's where I had most of my first 30 hours of flight training. I finished my initial training in Corvallis, Oregon and received my license on October 4, 2001. The airplanes I fly are from the OSU Flying Club in Corvallis.
First solo flight, September 13, 2000.

I'm trying to travel to airports I haven't landed at yet. Here is a list of places I've been and the date I first flew there. You may notice that the list hasn't changed in quite a while. I was preparing for instrument training in the latter half of 2003 and wasn't getting to new airports much. In November of 2003, I started working at a job that kept me very busy and it was difficult to stay proficient. I'm at a much more normal job now and I hope to fly more soon.
