Sikorsky S-61N over rural Pennsylvania
I finished S-61 ground school over the past
week + and am now waiting for the flight training. It appears that will be quite some time. We were told there was a flight training
backlog here, but not exactly how much of a backlog. Try 2 more months. I am eager to get finished, so I can get
gone, so I can get back. (I know, poor
grammar………. but effective) Oh well,
getting paid (well) to do absolutely nothing for 2 months isn’t the worst of
things.
We hang out, go to the movies a couple of
times a week, drive around and see the sights.
And get paid. I think I am going
to have Dahleen come up and stay a week or two around Thanksgiving. We will visit historic Philadelphia, maybe
go to NYC, and just enjoy the area and each other.
This area does remind me of the foothills
and rolling terrain of East TN. There
are a lot of farms nearby and it is relatively rural here.
That seems a little strange since we are only about an hour from
downtown Philly.

A little pre-flight instruction....
The S-61 makes the Blackhawk seem tiny.
