Were they really going to let me fly that plane? You know, there are so many of those feelings with each new experience. <br />Thank you for reaching out to Swayne!Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-22183594221311403212013-01-07T15:11:16.519-08:002013-01-07T15:11:16.519-08:00Swayne, so nice to meet you and welcome to the pil...Swayne, so nice to meet you and welcome to the pilot's world! The intro flight is THE experience of a lifetime. Nothing will be like it. Getting at the controls of the plane for the first time. The adrenaline. It's truly uplifting.<br /><br />I will take a look at your website and also link it to my website CaptainAboard.com (a partner site to this one) I can also be found on twitter @CaptainAboard Jeremy Carlisle (CaptainAboard.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12487827615007165105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-45972404509409981212013-01-07T14:41:29.836-08:002013-01-07T14:41:29.836-08:00Thanks, Karlene, for interviewing this amazing kid...Thanks, Karlene, for interviewing this amazing kid.

It's a little intimidating for me, especially the mechanical side of it (learning about systems in aircraft), but I'm sure that would be intimidating for anyone new to it all. <br /><br />I'm not willing to live my life always wondering what it would be like. So I know that I just have to go for it. <br /><br />Glad you're here with me for the journey! <br />Swayne Swayne Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264468709465838334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-5274488277231965262013-01-06T12:52:35.870-08:002013-01-06T12:52:35.870-08:00My motto in life is that I'd rather regret som...My motto in life is that I'd rather regret something I did, than regret something I didn't do. You seem to have the right attitude to enter this industry. Don't get discouraged by negativity. There are many examples (heck, you don't have to look further than the brilliant author of this blog) out there to prove the negativity wrong. Being a professional, commercial pilot is something that will be extremely rewarding in the long run. There will be rough spots, but I'm sure you will get far.
