Clermont College in Ohio for the flight program, to be determined for the final college after that, could be the University of Hawaii here. Military was a seriously considered option for awhile. Tail dragger certification? Thats interesting. I'd look into choppers if I was doing it!
Flip, good point about the sky diver thing, another way to build hours which is SO important following school. What do you think about a glider pilot option as well and flying out of Dillingham field here in Hawaii?
By the way you guys, Flip is an extraordinary sky diver!
He's also considering becoming a flight instructor himself as a way to build hours. He understands it will be a long and poorly paid career with only a chance of landing (is that a pun?) a decent job down the runway of life (that IS a pun)!
Yet he is adamant this is what he wants to do, he lives and breathes airplanes and has for many years. He did very well on the placement exam, in particular the math section.
Hey Flip, maybe he should try a few jumps this summer, we'll see you out at the field!
