This is my wonderful, handsome, loving, caring, adoring, funny, smart, tall, wheelie-ridin', sky-diving, bar-b-que-ing, airplane flying Husband.He's my FlyBoy. (wink wink)
His handle is Romeo-Whiskey, and the little blue biotch he's with is Juliet.
Seriously though. From the time I met my husband, he told me how he loves to fly. He also said that everyone had discouraged it in the past, and that if he knew then what he knows now he would have taken lessons and gotten his license.
I told him to go for it, man.
He tried to give me a bunch of "but,.. but,.. buts".
I told him it was OK. We can afford it; we aren't wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but we're doing fine.
So he did. I've never seen such dedication. He has read day and night, he hangs out with the old-timers at the airport whenever he can. I am just so impressed. For the last two years he has done this. He has worked at the airport to get extra hours of airtime, so it doesn't come out of the budget. He built the website for the airport. It's at: http://www.Av8terservices.com You should check it out, he has really put some work into it.
I'm the navigator. He just bought me a new headset. He has an airport radio in his bathroom so he can hear the pilots' dialogue with the tower nearby. He is a very safe pilot. And CFI Bob keeps his planes maintained very well.
If we hit the lottery tomorrow, we would buy a home with a landing strip.
We've also considered getting a plane with water-pontoons, so we could have lakefront property.
We can dream with our heads in the clouds.
That's what Love is.

John travolta has a house with a landing strip...you could be neighbors!
Ever since my first flight in a biplane I've always dreamed of being a wing walker.
That's what love really is: You helping him fulfill a dream. Wealthy? Sounds like you are two VERY rich people indeed, you have each other!
Thats so cool he can fly!
Im always nervous to fly. more so because I have to hold a 25 pounds baby on my lap in a very small space for an hour and 1\2....
We fly to NC on the 19th this month. Should make for an interesting trip ;-)
Nice blog, Msamber... I'm very happy for you and your husband. I use to dream of flying (but I wanted to fly helicopters)... almost joined the military to do it. But oh well... I'm glad your husband got to do it. :)
I'd like to fly a plane like that throughout the Alaska wilderness.
I wish I had a husband. I think it's to late for me as i have expired like milk past its expiration date! There just isnt anybody left when you are in your 30's! I will be out of the country next week so pray I meet a potential husband.
