Logan's Training

I am so proud of Logan for completing IFS in Pueblo Colorado! It was an adventure just getting him there, trying to get his FAA certificate but I am so proud of him for working so hard to make that happen and then continuing to work to get through that program! Great job Dear!

I also have to mention how hard it was to be away from each other! That last night he was gone we had a great conversation on the phone and both agree that it made our marriage stronger (not that we needed it because I love spending every moment with Logan!).

The first picture was taken right after he had his first solo! I think that was his favorite part of IFS and what he is really looking forward to when he starts to fly in the T6.

After Logan got back he had a week long break before UPT started. It was so great to have him home and we were so happy to be together again! It was also fun because we got to celebrate our 2 year anniversary!

We had a smaller celebration this year because last year we went on a cruise and then later that year we went to Europe. So we were happy to just drive down to OKC and eat at Texas Road House (our favorite) and we saw The Hunger Games and walked around the mall. It was a great little trip. Plus we are saving up to go to Hawaii for our five year anniversary so we know there will be plenty of fun in store for the future!

After a great week, Logan started UPT. This is his year long program that will determine if he will fly fighters and bombers or heavies. Guess which one he want to fly!? Yep, any fighter pretty much! He has his goal set and I know he will do everything he can to get there.

So far, he is still in the training portion so he studies a LOT - and that is good because he is doing great! On the first day, he brought home his study material and then I understood why he would be so busy for the next year!

 

This is what he has been studying and it is just for the first six months when he will fly the T6. Then he gets a whole new batch once he tracts for his next plane! He must be crazy for wanting to do this (and with a smile) but I support him all the way!

Here are a few more pictures of him with his helmet and in the pressure chamber where he got to test his hypoxia symptoms.
