Alright!, so friday at about 1530 I Finished the last 1.9 in GKVH, our BIII.

 

The last 12 hours were spent in and out of confined areas, longlining with both the empty hook, many, many emergencies, and my personal favorite, possibly the highest stress I have ever been under in an aircraft...

 

Wendell's truck, Wendell's quad, Wendell's Helicopter.

 

Although surprisingly easier then I expected it to be, I wouldn't call it at all easy by any stretch of the imagination. I've found even more respect for precision longlining.

 

 

Now for the hard part! This week I'm back in Penticton renewing my first aid and some other peripherals befor heading out to find that first job.

 

Thanks again to everyone whos helped me out along the way, I'm looking forward to working with some of you in the very near future.

Congrats Cole.

 

Now you have to start to deal with the dreaded helicopter withdrawl, and realise how much you loved the smell of av-gas in the morning.

 

But it's only temporary till you get that 1st job.

Congratulations Cole!!

Good luck on your job hunt and keep your chin up when you have heard the same thing from Chief pilots and ops. mgrs. a few times in the same day and not been hired.

Just from reading your posts I think you will do just fine! Hang in there and it WILL happen.

Best of luck,

Max
