    Hello everyone,

    My name is Travis Shea and I am a private pilot student in Hampton Roads, VA learning in a Cessna 172. What drove me toward an interest in aviation was a very dry, non stimulating job that I spent five years doing in the navy. I wanted to do something fun and challenging, bouncing from ideas like commercial diving, merchant sailing and eventually deciding on pursuing flying. I am leaving town for loadmaster school for the AF reserve in a couple of weeks and am in a bit of a rush to get my private rating before then, and with a plan of continuing my flight training after my AF school. Swayne's blog along with one other are really my entire aviation social life. I don't have any pilot friends and my friends have very little interest in aviation. Blogs like this are a life saver for me in reading about lessons learned I may not have experienced yet.

    I'm also very excited to share that my first solo is scheduled for today, wind permitting. Thanks for the opportunity to share my story!

    Best,
    Travis Shea

      Thanks for the comment! Love that you enjoy reading through the blog. For me, I have a pretty similar situation. I don't know too many people personally that know much about aviation. It's an awesome thing to be able to connect with people from around the world via the blog.

      Best of luck on your solo flight today. I'd love to have you write a full share your story post about it if you want to. Here is an example: http://martinsaviation.blogspot.com/2013/04/share-your-story-kreg-anderson-18-ppl.html

      Thanks again,
      Swayne Martin
