Well here goes, last night I discussed with my girlfriend about how things were going around my preparations for flying and that it would be nice to document it all. Mainly for myself, but also for others if they can make use of my experience. So here it is, and here is my first post.
Let’s start by introducing myself, my name is Steph, I’m Dutch, nearly 40 and working and living in Luxembourg as an IT consultant for the local branch of a well known American IT Service Provider. I am polyglot, trying to stop smoking and also trying to start flying, that what this blog is about.
I got infected by the flying virus when one of my former coworkers at IBM who was an avid sailplane flyer bought a superb Calif and took me for a spin, this was nothing for me but I had an other colleague who flew a little Piper and I liked that. I sort of shuffled it away as flying was much to expensive for me still being a junior with not much of a salary.
Last year I met again with my old friend and colleague Martin who is Flight Engineer at the DDA, The Dutch Dakota Association, at the Luxembourg Air Show at the Bitburg airfield and that rekindled the passion for flight with me and I started investigating the possibilities. And that search will be in my second post.
