Who am I?
Well, here goes. Just a brief introduction to who I am and why you might be the least bit interested in reading this blog. First off, my name is Jeff Franks, I live in a small town in Tennessee and have had a love of flying all my life. My Dad has flown since his days in the Navy and has managed to infect two-thirds of his sons with the flying virii. The trouble is that neither of us (my brother or me) have taken the time, money or innitiative to earn our Private Pilots License (er...certificate).So, now that I have made absolutely sure that I can pass the age requirement for holding a PPL (and be a U.S. Senator at the same time), I think it's time to get started. From the time I was 15, I always said "I'm going to start on my license NEXT summer"....well, after about 20 "next" summers have come and gone, now it looks like it might actually happen. The stars are aligning, the clouds have parted and the beam of sunlight has shone upon my face as I hear the voice of....Kirby Grant?!?! Oh, well, it's enough to get me going!
So, after years of flying off and on with my Dad and friends that would let me tag along...now it's my turn. Hrm. After spending hundreds of dollars on cool looking flight jackets, aviator's sunglasses and padding the Poberezny's pockets, I guess now is the time I actually did this thing.
Tomorrow....7:45am.....Lesson #1........Maybe I'll call in sick :-/
