Well, I think this "Introductions" section was a pretty good idea! It's tough trying to figure out who's who otherwise. :D

My name is Stephanie, I am 26 and live in Washington state. I am nearly finished with my private pilots license. (WA weather hasn't cooperated enough in the last few weeks for me to get in my final long cross country flight.)

I am currently looking into schools in AZ and TX and hoping to move somewhere with a more cooperative climate. I want to finish up my degree and go somewhere that is more condusive to aviation and that has a bigger general following in aviation. Anyhow, my long term goal is to fly freight for Fed Ex or UPS, or in the alternative I think it'd be fun flying smaller corporate business jets. I am sure school and continued flying will show me a lot more options too. Flying is far and away the best thing that I have ever done though, and I love every minute of it!

I am looking forward to getting to know more of you guys on here and hopefully making some new like-minded friends!

Cheers to that!

California would be nice, but the cost of living is too much for a starving student/pilot. Definitely something to consider though, given its proximity to home.

My wife didn't want to live in a hangar, so a house for now. My dream is to live in a warbird airpark some day. Then I'd probably spend most of my day back in the hangar and the wife could spend it in the house. of course I'd have to be independantly wealthy or else I'd be at work instead.

Sorry, just saw all of these. Yeah, I live in Washington state. Much closer to Oregon though. I'd like to be able to stay around the area. There are a couple of good aviation schools in Eastern Washington, but for some reason that area doesn't do much for me. I figure if I am going to move then I want to really move, do something new, a new adventure, etc. Ya know? I have a friend trying to push AZ down my throat, but I am just not sold on it yet.

Welcome aboard Stephanie...if you don't mind the cold & snow in winter you might want to consider Oshkosh, WI. There always seems to be job opportunities open with EAA, Basler Aviation Services, etc. The area is also very reasonable and affordable.

Best of luck to you!

John

Hi John!

The only hesitation I have with WI is really the cold and the snow. WA is notorious for the rain in the winter (okay, more than just the winter!) but I'd really like to go somewhere that has a better year round climate. I know that nowhere is perfect, but that's why AZ and TX (possibly even FL) were so appealing, because I could fly almost all year.

Just so many decisions! I just need someone to make the call for me, so I can stop thinking about it and get moving!

:D Steph

I totally understand...if you're not used to this climate it can really take a long time getting used to. I had the opposite problem handling the heat when I was stationed down in Texas and Georgia while in the Army.

Best of luck to you in your search. Remember...the world is your oyster! :wink:

Thanks for the encouragement, it really means a lot to me. The aviation industry seems to be one where you take a lot of knocks and constantly have to get up, brush yourself off, and move on... so the support means a lot. :)
