Adventures of flying

So I have not actually started doing anything related to my new job but this past week was an adventure. On Sunday a friend of mine who flies human organs called me asking if I would like to tag along. Well not wanting to turn down anything related to flying I said sure. So we went out to the Lee's Summit airport and flew to Scott's Bluff NE. There we picked up a liver and flew it to the Kansas City Downtown Airport. Even though I do not who received the liver but I had a small part in saving someones life. The second great adventure was flying to Georgia to pick up another Cessna 206 for the company that I am flying for. Five and half hours later we were in Georgia. Spent the night in Gainsville GA and then went to the airport in the morning. Then another five hours back to Kansas City. That does not include the training flights that I still had to complete for the new job. I think I can really enjoy flying everyday for work. To finish out the month I get to see Kasi on Wednesday which of course makes me happy. We are still on track of seeing each other at least once a month.

The first week

Well the not working for 8 months came to an end bright and early on the 9th of March. At 9 a.m. I was at the airport bright and early to start the new job. The first day was nothing but doing paper work and the usual stuff for new employees. The whole purpose of the first two weeks of the new job was to build hours in a Cessna 206. Well Tuesday it was bad weather but on Wednesday the fun began. So what did we do the first day? We flew to get barbecue. Thursday we just flew around to work on my skills. Friday we flew to Sikeston MO. What for you may ask? Lunch again at the world famous Lambert's. So while I am getting plenty of flying in I am sure not getting hungry either. Next week much of the same stuff, tasting the local cuisine.
