Episode 51

SPC #51 – A Sit Down with a New Pilot – Tim Omta

This week week’s episode is something a little different.  We’ll get back to part two of my Instrument make-up flight next week, but I wanted to throw in the audio from a sit-down I had with an old friend and colleague, Tim Omta, when we recently re-connected after several years because of aviation.  He had let me know that he had just learned to fly last year but I didn’t know a lot of details, and I purposely held off asking for them until we had a chance to sit down and talk with the audio being recorded.  Tim has a bit of a different back-story for his aviation interest, and in my opinion has some pretty interesting reasons for seeing his training through.  It was a very enjoyable conversation for me, and I hope you have a good time as well. Enjoy.

Tim completed his first solo flight one year to the day before our discussion.
