Another Shiny Ticket


Early in my posts even before the Las Vegas stent you may remember a guy named Grier Wimmer. We started his training in early 05 towards a Private Pilot rating and since become really good friends. I am pleased to announce that as of OCT 25 2006 Grier is a licensed airplane single engine land rated private pilot. He took his ride in Boyette Aviation's ch2t Alarus out of Mt Airy NC. I cannot say enough about the dedication and persistence this guy has put forward to make this happen , and it could possibly be a record. Grier started his training when he was a teenager and for reasons that plague alot of pilots he was unable to succeed until this week. There is no doubt in my mind that it was worth the wait. Flying is not only a carreer or hobby for most, in fact it is better explained as a way of life. Aviation will get in your blood and it is something that you can never get rid of, we call it the flying bug and many are infected with it. It is the freedom and purity of defying gravity that keeps us coming back for more. In my case i have a chance to share that love with someone else and the feeling is unmatched. Thanks for all your hard work Grier, i dont know another that deserves it more. I will see you in the clouds my friend. If you feel the need to soar Boyette Aviation can be reached at 336 789 5153, tell em you are looking for Mikey.Posted by Picasa
