Rocky is a Pilot Again!!

I took Ashlyn out to Goodyear Airport to visit Rocky at work. Rocky trains airline pilots for a European flight school based in Goodyear, AZ. It has been so great having Rocky flying again. He was definitely missing flying and the company he works for is a really good company!


This is a Piper Warrior. This is the single engine plane that he trains in, we didn't get a picture of the multi engine plane.


Ashlyn staring at all the gages!


Rocky is determined that our kids will love to fly!



These next few pics are in the flight simulator. It is crazy how real it feels in there.




This is kind of a weird picture. I am standing in the back of the simulator and there is a huge 190 degree wrap around screen that is 14 feet tall, very huge! Whenever the screen shows you are turning it really makes you feel like you are turning even though the simulator doesn't move. I almost fell over when I was standing in the back! Then when I was sitting next to Rocky I kept asking him if he was sure the sim wasn't moving. It is such a crazy feeling.



This is us with all eight of Rocky's students at P.F Changs! I wish I had a better picture since you can't really see Frederik but for those of you who are counting, there are eight students in the pic! They are all so fun to hang out with! We will miss them when they go back to Europe!

I love how interested she looks in all of the pictures. I bet she loved being with her daddy and around all of those buttons and gadgets. That's awesome that he is flying again!!
