I just want to let everyone know unfortunately I wasn’t able to fly in a while because the weather around me in Ohio hasn’t been cooperating to have good flyable weather. It does seem like the weather is improving and I am trying to get lesson scheduled with my instructor ken currently.
I would just like to say thank you for the understanding and all the continued support.

My name is John Laughman and I am honored to be one of the 2018 Flying Musician Solo recipients. This scholarship will go a long way toward helping me full fill my dreams of working in the aviation field. I am currently a senior in high school and have been taking classes to become a certified aviation mechanic. I am getting ready to take my test to become a certified A & P. I have always had a love for music and have spent the last six years playing the sousaphone, bass guitar, and trumpet. Being involved in my high school marching band and pep band has taught me numerous lessons about responsibility, leadership, and discipline all of which are necessary to work in the aviation field.
I discovered my love for flying a few summers ago when I helped out my uncle at the airport that he owns in Philipsburg, Ohio. I would mow the airport and did odd jobs; in exchange he would take my flying. With this scholarship I will be able to get my solo pilot’s license and work toward getting my private pilot's license, and then work towards my professional pilot’s license. I plan on attending Sinclair Community college in the fall to get my professional pilot’s degree. I can't express to you how much the Flying Musician scholarship will help me in reaching my dreams. I look forward to many adventures thanks to the support of my fellow music and aviation enthusiast.
Sincerely,
John Laughman

Weather delays… we’ve all been there. To some degree we are all still dealy with wx. Silver lining is you are able to get a big jump on the Sporty’s Learn to Fly course. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing with your fellow FMs.
Yep. You’ve been getting hit pretty hard weatherwise lately. Frustrating I know. Stay focused. It’ll get better. I had to fly to Oshkosh via Kentucky from Baltimore to get around Ohio Valley weather. May some simulator work?
