What day is it?
Its been a busy past few days but well worth it!
I received a scholarship for next year from Michael R. Peters, founder of AviationInterviews.com!
Each year he donates proceeds from his website to a trust and funds several scholarships for students here at SIUC. I can’t say thank you enough, as this is an exceptional example of “paying it forward,” as Mike puts it.
I had the great opportunity to fly him up to Madison, WI late Friday afterward and managed to make it home by 2:30. In the morning. The lack of sleep was well worth seeing Chicago at night and flying right over home in Bloomington, IL.
Work early Saturday was a blur, and before I knew it Sunday morning had brought a trip up to Waukegan, IL. I made a meal out of free cookies and Coke before climbing back in the plane for the trip home. You know, with all the free food and facilities charter flying offers the airlines may be a hard sell after all this…
O’Hare on our way back:
Now its time for sleep- another early flight up to Springfield tomorrow morning!
