Fun in the Sun

Today has been another fantastic day @ Sheble’s in Sun Valley. 

We had another private pilot pass his checkride yesterday, congrats to Steve!  Just this week alone we’ve had a few private pilots make giant steps towards their goals.  We have a few new, highly motivated commercial ASEL and AMEL applicants who are well on their way to accomplishing their Commercial Certificates.  Our Instrument course has a new course study guide which should be helpful for completing the rating in just 10 days.  The temperature has been beautiful as of lately, especially in the mornings!

See you soon!

Other wise it was a quiet week here at Sheble’s. As we all know it was time for the air show in Oshkosh. The three Joe’s were off on an adventure, Jo-Jo and Joseph did the father son trip in the Super Cub flying cross country to the fly in. Joe Senior flew commercially and joined them a few days later, they camped under the wing of the plane creating new memories and stories….. Joseph turned 17 while on the trip what a great way to spend it! Happy Birthday Joseph! Have a great week everyone!

Blue skies and tail winds to all!

Instrument Rating

Congratulations to my last instrument student who passed yesterday. He completed his IFR training in less than 10 days! WOW! Good job! Yes it has begun to get HOT in the desert here at Sheble Aviation. Never a better time to get away from the ground upto 9000 feet and obtain your instrument rating where it is a nice 70 degrees or colder. It’s been fantastic waking up early before the sun to beat the heat and get up in the air before it’s too hot. It also is a great time to get brushed up on instrument skills in our advanced simulator towards your Instrument Proficiency check or to build time towards another rating, not to mention its air conditioned.

As the desert heats up above the 100 degree mark, it presents the perfect opportunity for more exciting pilot training. The thermals are numerous and makes for exciting and long glider flights. (no engine, but still we climb!). Glider flying is very exciting and challenging, a very good way to hone your piloting skills …and engine out skills! If you get tired of the heat, take your training to the colorado river in one of our sea planes to cool off and enjoy the scenery of the summer! Both add-ons can be completed in just two days! Call today to schedule! Don’t miss out on all the fun.

I love going to the Colorado river with my family. It is so fun in the beech 18.  My dad, Joe Sheble, lets me jump off the wings of the beech 18. I like glider flying too.  I like doing wing overs in the glider.  My favorite air plane is the Cessna one eighty.
