Wanted to say "Hello"

[metalleg38]

Just registered here and thought I would introduce my self.

My real name is Troy and I am 38 y/o, very happily married and have two children. One each, they are 11y/o and 8y/o. We live in southern Indiana, along the Ohio river.

Around the end of August or first part of September I will be relocating to Fla. to attend a flight acadamy. Still deciding which one, but have narrowed it down to 4. We are taking a family vacation this summer to Fl. and I will take a few days out of the trip to tour the finalist.

In my life I have done a variety of things and hope to make this my last career change. The last few years I have been the owner and operater of a small sign and graphics business here in town. We did everything from Super sized banners to back-lit signage, but specialized in vehicle lettering and graphics.

I have sold my business and I plan on spending the summer with the wife and kids until I leave for school. I may end up going to my local FBO for my private, but havn't decided on that yet.

I look forward to learning from the people here and hopefully making some new friends.

Again, I just wanted to say "Hello" and introduce myself.

Welcome aboard!

Check out www.jetcareers.com for some good info as well. It is run by a Delta Airlines pilot and much of the webpage, espescially the message boards, are geared for people just starting out in aviation. There is even a dedicated message board for mid-life career changers. An excellent site.

Good luck to you.

Don't worry. I was older than you are when I started, and yesterday I got a call for a Lear job.

More on that this evening, folks. Guess I'll have to change my info block over on the left...

Prayers are welcome.

Welcome and good luck!

www.jetcareers.com has also a great message board discussing flight academies including, I wager, several if not all of the ones you're considering
