Until I leave for Oklahoma City to start training for my new career as an air traffic controller. It will have been about a year and a week since I applied for the job until my first day of training.

My blog will be making a short term transition from my flying experiences to one as an ATC trainee as I progress through the Academy and later at my facility, the Memphis ARTCC. As much as I hate giving up flying (again) the move and initial pay cut I will be taking will require that I put it on hold again for a short period of time. I'm hoping that maybe by summer of 2010 I'll have the time and money to rent an airplane at one of the airports around Memphis.

Stay tuned!
