I earned my PPL in 2019 after 14+ years of on and off again training in NJ and TX. It was a blast flying along the coast of New Jersey and around the plains of Texas but I’m excited to take on the challenge of mountain flying in and around the front range. My goal this year is to take advantage of the Mooney and go on several weekend trips around CO and the surrounding states.
I earned my PPL in 2011 after wanting it since I was a kid and my dad was in flight school in Nairobi Kenya. I’m originally from Norway and flying in Europe is simply too expensive for most. When I first moved to the US (Florida), my dream of flying was awakened and I began visiting small airports to look at planes, taking off and landing or just sitting on the ramp. It wasn’t until 2010 I could find the time and money to pursue my dream. One of my best memories of flying is when I proposed to my wife after taking her on a flight and landing on a mountain top. What I love about the club is the camaraderie of the members and the freedom to fly almost anywhere I want in the country.
I earned my PPL in 2000 and waited 19 years to add on my Instrument Rating. As a transplant from the East Coast, learning to fly in the mountains has been a fantastic adventure! I love flying the Club’s 182 and M20E on cross-country trips with my family of four. One day I’d love to learn to fly a tailwheel. My favorite place to fly is Rapid City, SD (KRAP).
