Flying again after all these years

Hi All, 
I'm just starting this new blog since I've decided to be an independent Flight Instructor.   I learned to fly in September, 1966 a couple of months before going in the US Army.  By 1970 I had earned a Commercial,  Single and Multi Engine Ratings and an Instrument Rating.  Then, in March, I flew a Cessna 150 from Lexington, Blue Grass Field to Nashville (BNA) and took my CFI flight check with
an FAA Inspector, passed (first time around) with flying colors. Then, in the evening, I flew back to LEX.  
About three days later I started my first flying job at Cardinal Aviation, Bowman Field, Lousiville, Ky.
And so my flying career began! 
I loved flying at Bowman.   At Cardinal we had two junky old faded blue and white Cherokee 140's and a C-150.   We also had a Cessna 182, and a Ryan as well as a Baron.   I drove daily from Lex to Bowman to teach.  I was the only full time instructor at the place, and had lots of students.  When I think back all those years and remember landing Right Side or Left Side in the grass I'm amazed at the things we did.   I made $5.00 an hour, which wasn't bad.  At the time I was having more fun than anyone can imagine.  My boss was Fred Denny, the manager who had been a Connie FO for Central American Airways.  He was a great boss and fun to work with.  He also taught the Wed. evening Private Pilot Ground School, and was extemely knowledgeable about all things Aviation.  
From first solo (after 5:32 minutes of flight time) to Commercial and CFI took about 4 years, with two years off for the Army. 
Forty five years later I now have an ATP, CFI, II, MEI and Single Engine Sea Plane ratings.  I still love to fly and in this blog I plan to discuss many topics that deal with Aviation, and learing to fly. 
May your skies be fair and tailwinds abound.
