Announcing the Blogging in Formation Series!

I am excited to announce that this week Smart Flight Training is participating in some formation blogging – I am honored to be included in this series, which is starting tomorrow, Tuesday, May 7th, 2013.

Such acclaimed aviation bloggers as Dan Pimentel (http://www.av8rdan.com/), Karlene Petitt (http://karlenepetitt.blogspot.com/), and others have inexplicably stooped to allow me to not only associate with them, but to actually work with them!

The most thanks goes to Brent Owens (http://iflyblog.com), who I have worked with in the past at a large corporate aviation company in central Ohio, and who is to blame – er…. is BEHIND the idea of the series overall.

So starting tomorrow, we will all become privy to how each of these illustrious pilots & bloggers were first drawn to flight and the aviation industry during this week’s Blogging in Formation series.  Below is the list of six blogger-pilots (or is it pilot-bloggers?) who will be going back to their beginnings, in order and with the dates they are posting (this post will be updated daily with appropriate direct-to-post links as everyone posts their, um, post):

• Tuesday, May 7th – Karlene Petitt: What Drew Me to Flying
• Wednesday, May 8th – Eric Auxier: How I was Brought to Flying
• Thursday, May 9th – Ron Rapp: Looking Back: How I got Started in Aviation
  
• Friday, May 10th – Dan Pimentel: How I was Brought into Flying? Blame it on the Darts
• Saturday, May 11th – Andrew Hartley: Backstory: Why I Fly
• Sunday, May 12th – Brent Owens: My Journey to Flight

We’ll be talking up this series everywhere – so be sure to subscribe to each of the above blogs, and don’t forget to follow these fine folks on twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and wherever else you can find them! Please let us know what you think about the series!
