To whoever is reading this, welcome! I started MonmouthPilot.com because as I began learning how to fly, I wanted to expand my social media presence and join the bustling industry of aviation media personalities such as Josh Flowers or Mindy Lindheim. My fascination with both technology and aviation has proven expensive, and I figure that this may be a path to flying affordably. A CFI was signing off on my application for a Student Pilot Certificate at the Jersey Aero Club in Lakewood, and the first thing he asked me was “What makes a plane fly?” I replied with lift. He said, “Very good. Now what really makes a plane fly?” I sat awkwardly for a moment unsure of what to say (not an unusual position for me) and then, he quite rightly revealed: money. While I do need some of that, that isn’t quite what I’m after—I’ve never done anything like this before, and as much as I claim to love IT I’ve never reliably hosted my own active website before. I want to gain experience in PR, video production, editing, and design, while learning more about the technology inside the cockpit that fascinates me so much. I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
