I didn’t own an airplane for the first 13 or so years that I had my license. For my first 10 years of aircraft ownership, my family was only in the airplane a hand full of times, and that was to get to a destination. Getting in the airplane for a joy ride was never even a consideration. As I...

Nice! Enjoy your time in SoFlo. What type of Citation? I fly a Citation V Ultra for a 135 on occasion. Fun airplane! Abram Finkelstein N48KY

Thank you, sir!

Sorry I missed you! I flew out to NC yesterday and get back Sunday night. Abram Finkelstein N48KY

Thank you, sir! Abram

He is a really nice guy!

There is a pretty cool YouTube channel out there called Flying Doodles. Each episode interviews the owner of an airplane and they go up for a quick ride. I learned of it when the owner contacted me to do an episode on the Eclipse 500 and I was really impressed with how well it was done. I...

I have been flying my own plane relatively routinely to support my business for the past fifteen years or so. I typically take my plane unless the commercial flight is relatively easy and quick. There have been many times that I elected to fly commercial airlines when I contemplated taking...

I don’t want to hijack the thread. Not necessarily. I have started looking at other options, but I have no real need to make a move right now. I have been flying as SIC in one for a while and think that there may be more of it coming. As a result, I may get the Type Rating to do some more...

I will take that deal! Right after I get my Type Rating in the Phenom 300! Abram

Great picture, Ken! Looks like it was a beautiful night. I’ll go with you to get the seaplane rating!

My wife has never been a fan of flying, either commercial or general aviation. For the first several years, she never went on a single flight with me. My first few airplanes were largely used by me in my business. She didn’t really start flying with me until we started using the airplane...

I usually use Million Air. It’s a nice facility and nice people. I don’t find the fees too bad, but you can always ask them to modify fees if you buy fuel. Abram Finkelstein N48KY

My logbook is not with me, but as I recall it was just over 60 hours and about 8 months back in 1988. There was a three month period where weather prevented me from flying very often and I definitely lost some proficiency that I had to get back. Abram Finkelstein N48KY

Hey, all. Sorry that I haven’t been updating this post, but between running the business, the flying and some personal travel, it has been a really busy couple of months! However, I wanted to post my impressions of my first few months on the schedule! First and foremost, being an “On Demand...

I do some contract flying for two related corporate flight departments. They are both very good to their pilots but it is a totally different experience to work for each of them. For one of them, which is the primary department that I fly for, once the owner gives us the schedule, there isn’t...

I still love flying at night! But sunrise after a long night is pretty awesome, too! Abram Finkelstein N48KY

Congratulations! Abram Finkelstein N48KY

I appreciate the positive feedback! I am still having fun with all of the flying gigs, even though it is really work! I suspect that you will be just fine, Captain Jones! I look forward to flying with you in the not so distant future! I agree with you completely! I am a very lucky guy and...

Thanks for the positive feedback! It has definitely been a fun experience. I was very tempted to go full time, but I am actually pretty happy with the mix that I have right now. I do overnights on some of the other contract jobs I do, but the reason that I liked the air ambulance gig was that...
