Greetings all. I need some help with my situation. Back in 2004, I was
a flight instructor for just about a year when we found out my wife was pregnant with twins. The student load I had wasn't enough, and I had a second job, as well as my wife working. The wife was going to be a stay-at-home mom and my income would not sustain us, or our medical bills. After some much thought and prayers, we decided that a trip in the Air Force for would be a good move. Now I am enlisted, and working in Network Security. I could not go in as an Officer to fly since my vision requires correction, and I lacked a degree. Fast forward to 2008, I have 4 kids now, living in the Colorado Springs, CO area, still enlisted, and have until 2010 before my enlistment is up. I haven't touched a yoke since 2004. I have subsequently lost my CFI/CFII since I had no students to teach, and could not afford another "checkride" to keep it up. I really want to get current again, and hopefully stay current by joining the local CAP. If I can do that, my options of getting back into flying as a dream career can get back on course. So here is my question: How would you suggest I go about getting current and capable again? I know I can get another medical with no problem. I am supporting my family of 6 with soon to be E-5 pay. I still have all my books from flight school, and could do some home- based knowledge building. Are there any DVD courses or maybe any flight schools in the area that you know of with a program built for someone in my situation? |
