Welcome Kate!
Looking forward to your joining the world of aviators. You'll never regret it. My wife got her ticket in 1985 and still loves every minute.

Killer Kate
Kete is 18 years old and has the nickname "Sparkplug"..There is a very good reason for this as she throws herself at everything life has to offer with Gusto..Quite a remarkable young lady!
Her Dad was a smoke jumper for many years and they are now both getting interested in building an RV..
I may have had a little something to do with that...

Kate,
Welcome to the VAF forum.
One question, are you NUTS for flying with Frank? 
Now if we can only convince him to convert his plane to a dragon tail, errr, tail dragger.

thanks!
"NUTS" may be a strong word... I like to think of it as "abnormally ambitious" |

Hey Kate,
Welcome to the forums! You are with the best group as far as motivation for your interests. My experience here has been life-changing as I have learned so much and have been given the chance to start on my own RV project (I'm still a teenager in college myself). Good luck with everything!

Hi Kate and welcome to VAF
You mentioned in your profile a possible father daughter project . My son Josh was my build partner for my -8 project , he is about your age . The time we spent together in the shop was priceless . Memories like that last a lifetime . I hope you get that opportunity .
Good luck with your flight training .

Sent you a pm, I'm at Kansas State University, major in Agribusiness. Tell Frank he's created another RV addict!
