Experience

The Twin Otter! This aircraft is a plane that is often flown internationally. I can fly is most weather conditions and is capable to land on almost any surface. I was recently having a nice pilot to pilot chat over email with m step mother’s new husband and he was telling me that he been a pilot of the Havilland fleet Twin Otter and getting paid very nicely! The first few things he was telling me is that experience is the key to becoming a pilot! He said to me that you need to do what you can to not just get caught up with all the simulator junk and keep up with the experience of mastering the aircraft of your choice. To poke around and fly a bunch of different aircraft and see which one you love to fly the best and then stick with it, master it, then find a job that will take your hard earned experience to put it to the test as a career and succeed! He had done this with the Twin Otter and is now happily doing what he loves flying around the world, seeing new sights ever day, while flying the plane of his choice. Now that is definitely the way to go! Therefore, I plan to take his advice by doing what I can to get through college at the University of Dubuque where I was recently accepted and given a large scholarship of $40,000 and continue to gain experience with the smaller aircraft, obtain my licenses and possibly go corporate and start getting a lot of experience early on in my career choice of becoming a professional pilot! This is something that I great enjoy and appreciate and I would love to make the most out of it by doing what I can while I can. Thanks again for the advice from all the pilots I’ve talked to!
