What a great month at Blue Hill, Check rides and solo's. With awesome weather we were able to fly 7 days a week and get people finished up quickly. It started with Carlos Almirani getting his Helicopter Add-on on May 24th. Carlos is already a commercial fixed wing pilot and wanted the benefits of simulator to cover some of his hour requirements. Carlos went solo very early in his training and unlike the Robinson with a 20 hour solo minimum the schweizer 300Cbi did not hold him back. Well done Carlos, already on to Instrument and commercial and then CFI.
All you need to do now Carlos is loose the flip flops for flying !
John Doris
Next up we have the young John Doris who went solo on May 25th, he is only 18 years old and already has a fixed wing rating, John has some great talent and again went solo very early with no hold backs for minimum solo that you need to meet with the Robinson, like Carlos he chose Blue Hill Helicopters over several Robinson schools in the area and never looked back. John is off to Florida to study aviation management in August so wants to finish the private before he has to leave.
Here is John with Kilian, although we are unsure why Kilian is wearing a hoodie on an 80 degree day ! Kilian you are the best !
Johann Sweitzer
Johann has been at Blue Hill for a while and on May 29th he passed his Commercial Helicopter check ride. Johann has completed all his ratings at Blue Hill helicopters and has become part of the team. Johann is always around the school and is the technical expert on our Fly-IT simulator. He is glad to have the Commercial out of the way and get the CFI and CFII finished. He can then begin his teaching career at Blue Hill !
Johann is 26 and this is the only girlfriend he has right now :-(
Call Blue Hill Helicopters for his details !!
Josh Haddad
Josh started with Blue Hill Helicopters several years ago before he moved away to the west coast, he completed all his ratings there and came back to MA recently to complete his CFII with Blue Hill Helicopters. We can safely say he 'aced' the check ride and finally added that all important CFII on June 18th. The instrument rating is the most important rating in the helicopter world and to teach it you need a CFII. Well done Josh !
Keep checking back for updates on www.BlueHillHelicopters.com , we will have our next open house in August along with the yearly school barbecue for current students . Have a great week and remember we have great deals on flight training even with fuel costing more than gold !
