Congrats are in order to Andrew Kaufmann (DVA3931) who has rejoined the Flight Academy as a virtual flight instructor. The Flight Academy is almost ready to re open and Andy will be a much needed addition to the flight instructor staff....

Welcome back, Andrew - some changes since you left - I think you left something in your office that caused some molding - the entire place was condemned and we had to relocate to Salt Lake City - so those afternoons buzzing the tourists on the beach while waiting for your next student to show up - those are history...

George, this is off topic and on topic at the same time, you guys opening up the IFR course already as well? ( I know that you need ppl and comm to take it, just curious if the course will be offered as soon as the academy opens back up)

Honestly, we have a backlog of PPL students we need to get going first, then get the commercial going once we clean that up, then the IFR is after that. We can always meet up and do some IFR stuff if you want...

Congrats, Andy! I hear that medical exam is far more difficult to pass than an FAA Class I.

You're right - because part of our medical exam is conducted by the Dr. Green Baron - he takes you on the Mulch One departure, Dead-End Canyon transition... if you survive and still want to go flying after that, well, you pass that part of the exam...

The Doc was pretty friendly, until he started snickering at me...when I got to the Dead End Transition - I knew I was in for a bumpy ride!
