My pal Patrick!<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey, everybody!<\/span><\/p>\n

Long time, no blog, I know.\u00c2\u00a0 Believe it or not, it’s still been busy around here, even though it’s now officially fall. Activity on the lake is slowing down, but we’re still flying lots.<\/p>\n

I made a great friend in September: Patrick.\u00c2\u00a0 Patrick spent most of the month in Seattle on vacation: he, his wife, and their dog “Maggie” live in Chicago, but decided to live the slow life on a houseboat in Lake Union for a while. I didn’t meet Maggie, but Patrick and I got to be great buds!<\/p>\n

Patrick is a longtime pilot of RC planes<\/a>, and seeing the floatplanes on Lake Union really got his attention.\u00c2\u00a0 He decided to start flight training with us, even though he knew he’d only be in town for a few weeks. Why not, indeed?<\/p>\n

We had a ball – he did a great job, and if he were to have stayed in town much longer, he’d most likely be a solo student pilot!\u00c2\u00a0 As it is, we look forward to seeing Patrick again when he’s in town (especially me, ‘cuz he brings me treats!)<\/p>\n

Here’s Patrick on the beach at Seward Park<\/p>\n

Patrick proved that even if you don’t have a whole lot of time available, you can still take flight training.\u00c2\u00a0 What are YOU waiting for?!\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
See you again soon, Patrick!<\/div>\n
\u00c2\u00a0<\/div>\n
Cheers,<\/em><\/div>\n
