Helicopter School


Announcement time! No we aren't pregnant but we have even better news! Preston was accepted into Helicopter School!!! His professional flight instruction is through a school located here at the Ogden airport called High Desert Helicopters. He starts school this Monday which will consist of ground school 2 times a week and flying lessons everyday. Our goal is for him to graduate in 6 months. I am so proud of him it is going to take a lot of work and dedication but no one is better suited for the job!
Just a side note, helicopter pilots are in VERY high demand all over the country right now because all the pilots that are in the field are old war vets. that are retiring. There are hundreds of jobs all over the country for us to chose from.
We are just so grateful and excited for this opportunity!!! And I will keep you posted on his progress.
