Palm Beach Flight training held an open-house event. It was my first social event...ever.
I didn't think I'd stay as long as I did. But I did. If you can tell from my new flagship blog, GolfNovember Art, and you know what I feel when I'm around people, you would understand.
First thing I did was look around for someone I knew. I ran into a few students from my ground school class, and mingled with them a little. Then I saw the seminar on aircraft ownership and the IRS (very interesting, by the way).
I went back out, after having some food and a couple of Cokes, to check out the planes close up. They were sporting three brand-new Cessnas. One Skyhawk, a Turbo Skylane, and one fresh, brand new Corvalis (my dream plane). All three were sporting the G1000 glass cockpit system from Garmin. It was beautiful. I ran into an old teacher from a previous ground school class, and she asked how I was doing. I felt so good being there, around people I knew, and around people who are like me: pilots, aviators, aviation enthusiasts...my people.
I stayed for the entire event. And I enjoyed myself. For the first time, I enjoyed myself in a social setting. It was wonderful!
