The aircraft graphics are approved, and will be tested prior to the final application which begins in several weeks. Justin and I flew in a 20 mph wind that absolutely encouraged me about "the flight", and Light Sport Aircraft.
In this episode I share the Three Threads of Successful people and how important it is to weave these threads into your own life in order to walk more quickly down the pathway of accomplishment.

Author, Michael Combs has always dreamed of flying. Join him as he gets his license and sets out to set a world record while inspiring millions to follow their dreams -- no matter what.
Michael's mission is to fly a light sport aircraft to all 50 states in less than 40 days. It's a tremendous endeavor that will encompass over 14,000 miles.
You don't want to miss this! And, don't forget to spread the word and help others to pursue their dreams.
Michael Combs an average guy (kind of). He's ambitious and creative, but his dream to fly was hampered by a physical limitation: a heart problem that nearly took his life. Doctors didn't offer much hope that he would ever fully recover, but after surviving a harrowing near death experience in which he was declared clinically dead, Michael was determined to beat the odds -- and he has! He's a medical miracle and is better health today than he's been in years! As inredible as his story is, it is that same history that had disqualified him from his greatest life dream -- to become a pilot. But, as a determined individual, he triumphantly found a way around the obstacle. What he recently discovered is that in 2004 the Sport Pilot Association helped create a new class of license designed for recreational pilots. And, the best part, his history (which is long since resolved) is no longer an obstacle. Sure there are some limitations with the license, such as not being able to fly commercially, but his dream was to fly, not to be a commercial pilot. It was a great day when he first made his discovery of the sport pilot's license and as his enthusiasm has been contagious. Now to share his jubilation (and perhaps defiance), he'll be sharing triumphant journey with the nation to inspire others to never, ever give up on their dreams. After visiting the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association he learned that there is more support than he ever imagined. Not only did they personally take the time to explain the nuances, they offered to help every step of the way from preparation to mechanical repairs and more. The outpouring of support was incredible. When he began explaining his story and ambition to fly to every state in the U.S. everyone he told was instantly inspired to re-visit their own ambitions and dreams. In fact, most who have learned about the mission and the book, are quick to provide their own stories and those of people they know who have triumphed in the face of adversity. Perhaps it's the strained economy that attracts people to something positive, something proactive, but whatever it is, people are finding the courage to think and dream bigger. With that said, Michael will be sharing his entire experience of learning to fly, to planning the route and gathering the proper equipment, to encounters he has along the way. In this way people of all backgrounds and interests can share in this entire journey, and hopefully find the inspiration to break out of their box and pursue their dreams and ambitions too.
