Tom Petty one speculated that “waiting is the hardest part.” I can vouch for that. The great thing about my training situation is that someone else is going to pay for me to fly. The downside is that that sort of puts me at that individual’s mercy. After my discovery flight, I sought to nail down the terms of getting my flying started. The terms of that agreement stipulated that I start my training in… February 2010.
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
OK, OK. In reality, I have absolutely no right to complain. Given my situation, a few months is really a small concession. Luckily, my financier was open to some discussion, so I asked about the delay, making it clear that I wasn’t trying to look this particular gift horse in the mouth… I was just damned excited. So he’s currently considering some other ways to approach this. Of course, I’d love to find out that can start, oh, this weekend, but if I don’t, I’ll be OK. But for now, I’m in limbo.
Yeah, the waiting is the hardest part.
