interesting training opportunities

[realisent]

I'm looking for the next exciting thing to do as a training experience after the private. I found the following but I'd like some more ideas...

First, get a float rating. In Alaska!

Second, go on a 2,000 mile cross country, earning your instrument rating at the same time.

Thirds, emergency maneuvers traing, inverted!

Exciting training opportunities

After not flying in nearly ten years, getting current would be an exciting training opportunity for me, and for my instructor, too, I'm sure.

Take some acro. It will do wonders for your airmanship and confidence. Acro training is part of the FlightSafety course. I know of no other flight school that includes acro it its course.

I can see how glider training will help your airmanship. There was a flight school in Denver called Enterprise Airline Academy that trained for the glider rating as part of its 141 course. I have a friend who is a CFI-G who took me up one time. He's talked about training me for Commercial glider and CFI-G. That would be fun, and would give me a BFR, too.
