More Training

 Patrick is mere weeks away from graduating from college.  He has achieved his private and commercial pilot licenses, earned his instrument rating, became a Certified Flight Instructor, and (by the time he graduates) will have completed his BS in Aviation.

While his college student cohort was enjoying Florida or some other warm and sunny vacation spot for their Spring Break, Patrick and his friend and fellow pilot went to Florida to obtain their qualifications to become "multi-engine" pilots.  They had to do most of the class work ahead of time so that when they met with their instructors they were already knowledgeable so that most of their Florida time could be spent actually flying a multi-engine airplane.

They were both successful (no surprise), but the victory didn't come easily.  The pre-Florida prep work kept them busy as they studied for this class while still maintaining their other course load (which is 21 credits for Patrick this semester) and working.  When they arrived in Florida, the days were spent with instructors and the evenings were spent reviewing and studying whatever needed more attention.  Patrick also had to attend to his online classes which did NOT break for Spring Break like the in-person classes did.  Patrick returned victorious, but pretty wiped out.

Here is Patrick with his friend standing in front of the multi-engine plane they trained in.  With this new qualification, these gentlemen are equipped with the skills needed for whatever jobs they might choose after graduation.  Congratulations to both of you!
