I thought I would take a minute to let everyone know how my flight training has progressed since soloing in March. In addition to the flight training provided by the FMA and generous FMASolo sponsors, Murfreesboro Aviation donated an additional 10 hours of training after solo to help me reach my goal of earning my private pilot license.
I am now preparing for my first solo cross country flight from Murfreesboro, TN (MBT) to Fayetteville, TN (FYM). After ground school and preparing the flight plan, I made a dual instruction cross-country flight with my instructor, Tanner Quigley, last week. Here is a picture from the flight! On July 2, I’ll make my first round-trip local solo flight from MBT to Shelbyville (SYI).
You may notice that in this picture I’m wearing a Bose A20 Aviation Headset. It is AWESOME! I am honored to have been selected for the FMA President’s Award. Thanks to John Zapp and the FMA for selecting me and for the headset and thanks again to Bose for its sponsorship of the FMASolo Scholarship Program. The FMA has made my goal of learning to fly achievable.
On to music . . . next week I will be participating in the Nashville Jazz Workshop Jazz Camp, which ends on Friday with a public performance. If any FMA members will be in Nashville for Summer NAMM and want to hear some very talented jazz students play, let me know and I can send details. Otherwise, I hope to see FMA members at Summer NAMM.
