Cross country in to the desert

This is the second cross country that our students fly. It's from Gillespie (KSEE) to Imperial (KIPL) The change of scenery is incredible, we fly over suburbs, mountains, desert and farmland.

Airport in the sky

Beautiful approach in to Catalina Avalon (KAVX).

First glimpse at San Diego

As some of you know I've moved to San Diego. This is the first video I've managed to finish.
More to come!

"Let me tell you something you already know.The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!

Now if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth! But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!"

-Rocky Balboa

This quote and specially the part in bold letters are specially true when it comes to pursuing an aviation career. There will be setbacks along the road but as long as you don't let the setbacks kick you to the ground you will eventually succeed.
The second is also extremely important. No one but you can get you where you want to be, stay true to your goals!

I just wanted to share this since it has kept me moving forward when facing setbacks and hardships.

GoPro Winter flying

This is what winter flying CAN be like. Most of the winter is pretty useless for VFR flying as most of you know but here I've shown the other side of the Swedish winter.
Enjoy! (In HD for best experience)

GoPro Beatuiful snowy timelapse

This is a timelapse out of the window where I sit and work and chill. Unfortunately I wasn't able to fly that day.
The 50s video is actually shot over 4 hours taking 1 picture every 5 seconds.
Enjoy!

Swedish winter

You know it's winter when you have to shovel snow out of the hangar.
