The Logbook

Hours, lessons & the feelings that don’t fit in the little boxes.

Every pilot keeps a logbook. This one is mine — the hours, the lessons, and the feelings that don’t fit in the little boxes.

Post #1 — “Why I’m Starting”

I’ve always been the person who looks up when a plane goes over. Not the jets — the little ones. The single-engine planes that buzz over Orlando on a Saturday morning, going wherever they want.

For a long time, it stayed a “someday.” Life was full. I’m building businesses, and right now I’m studying for my MRI boards. Imaging taught me something: complicated things are learnable when you take them one step at a time.

So I’m applying that to the sky.

Here’s the plan: finish boards first. Then a discovery flight. Then my medical, a student pilot certificate, ground school, and the hours. One step, then the next.

Why call it Limerence Air? Because limerence is that feeling you can’t shake. This is mine.

I’m sharing it publicly for two reasons. First, accountability. Second, if you’re 16 or 22 and wondering whether flying is “for people like you” — it is. Follow along, and let’s both get our wings.

Next entry: booking my discovery flight.
