finally!

Steven has been flying alot lately with a company called Rotorway. He has also been an apprentice learning to be an A&P mechanic for helicopters. You need 2 years of experience working as a mechanic before you can even test to become a helicopter mechanic. He wasnt planning on loving it as much as he does & he has taken out & put back engines in helicopters by himself already a few times! Of course he has, he's ridiculously good at almost everything! He had to retake his CFI (certified flight instructor) test because it expires after a couple years & before he started flying in October, he hadnt flown since 2008! Well he passed & can now be a CFI for rotorway, too! CFI's arent too busy these days because there arent a whole lot of students there. But at least it's something! And he gets to fly for them as much as he wants which gives him valuable hours. I can tell the difference in Steven when he gets to fly, he's very confident & happy!

Seriously so cool! I'm so glad he's flying. As the wife of another man who Silverstate screwed, I am positive he is ecstatic!

The kids got such a kick out of seeing him fly over our house the other day. They came in yelling "that man in the helicopter waved to us!" Little did I know it was Steven. :) And, now Sione is in love with flying - hasn't stopped talking about it.
