Are you totally freaking out, worried about that checkride day and nerves got you all crazy and you're worried about it and you want a second opinion? Well, we've been helping a lot of people, not only with our helicopter training videos and our online ground school, but we have more and more members that are traveling here to fly with us and finish up their ground here. But the common theme is they're using the videos to make sure their knowledge is pretty good before they get here. And then once they're here, all we got to do is sit down with them. And usually within a couple of days, boom, they are pretty much ready to go. So I'm going to tell you a little bit more about this new offer here in a minute. I want to introduce you to some of our members that have been here just in the recent past, just since the weather's been nice. You have Jonathan, who was here for his commercial. Add on. Roger was just here. He actually is from Indiana. Jonathan was from Minnesota. You got Dean who came from Wisconsin, shows up most, most prepared student ever. Showed up with everything. He only had one hour of flying. He showed up, did some ground with Gary and they went out, did an intro flight. He definitely loved it. He's coming back actually next week to fly with our full time, new full time chief pilot, Gary Cleveland. He's coming back to do some ground with Gary. We did, Lance just did his commercial rating. He came all the way from Texas, was here less than a week, went home super happy. His partner from Texas, Connecticut came up prior to Lance coming up, had him done and like Gary had him done just a few days again, they went through the videos, had everything ready, had their qualifications done and we had. Austin and Roland were here. They brought an R22 with them. They came over together. They had been going through the videos. We did some prep work with them, got both their commercials done for them. They went back home. They were here well less than two weeks. Holly, who came all the way from Colorado, I helped her with her CFI again. She used the videos before showing up. Her knowledge was really good. And we actually transitioned her from. She'd never flown an instrument before. In under two weeks. We transitioned her to the instrument, got her ready to go for the CFI checkride and she went and took CFI checkride into Instrom that she had just started flying less than problem. And he just. I learned all I had to do with Jamie was just kind of get him calmed down and because of everything he'd been through and he was fine. We Got his checkride done. And then we have Ray who came over from Chicago. He just starting out using our ground school, wanted to come over. He hasn't done a check ride yet. But everybody else that you've seen have all done checkrides. I think that's it. Yep, we'll get, we'll get back to that in a minute. So the cool thing is this isn't really something that we started out to do. It was pretty much just ground school and I would do ratings on the side. But all of a sudden members start saying, hey, can we come there and finish the rating? And they're showing up really prepared. And Jamie was the one that really kind of said, you know what, you guys ought to start really looking at bringing your members here and helping them make sure they go through the videos before they come. So when I first started doing this five years ago, I did a lot of one on one get on Skype or classroom or one of our different web tools we have to use to work with people. But I got so much time online that after a while I had to kind of drop off doing that because it was just too time consuming. Well, Gary's starting full time and he said, you know, we should start doing some more of that one on one check with people over the Internet, over Skype or in the classroom. And I said, well, you know what, as soon as you're full time, why don't we implement that again? So what we're doing is we're offering, oh, screen is going kind of crazy here a little bit. Two hours one on one in our online classroom, we can use either Skype, we can have several other different methods that we can use so we can get you logged in from pretty much anywhere around the world. Screen's going crazy. I don't know what that's all about. So two hours one on one, that's freaking me out. Let me see if I go to the other screen if that will take care of that and make that quit jumping around. See, we got an update here. But this is the problem with doing the stuff that we do there. We got rid of that pesky thing. Hopefully that'll quit messing with us. So two hours one on one in our online classroom, majority of this will be with Gary. But Gary has gotten really good with checkrides and been working with a lot of our members here in person. So we thought we'd introduce doing a new two hour checkride prep for those of you that just maybe you're just worried, you just want that extra Help of somebody other than your instructor. Maybe you're working well with your instructor, but you just want that second opinion. You want somebody else to evaluate your knowledge. So we're offering this two hours, one on one, and this offer is valid for current HOGS members in good standing. You have to be a current member. This isn't for people off the street because we want you to be a member, be going through the training, going through the videos, and have your knowledge in a pretty good place where you want that second opinion for checkride prep. So if you're interested, you can text or call our new member support number, 574-767-1797. This offer is on a first come, first served basis. So it's, you know, permitting on how much stuff we have going on per month. And we are going to continue working with members that want to travel here and get their checkrides done. It's just been working out really well for them to go through the videos, have the training, you know, have the knowledge down to where they're in pretty good shape. And they just want somebody to kind of help them hone the skills, give them the confidence so they can get ready and go take the test. So if you're interested in coming here to train with us at C65, the Plymouth Municipal Airport, you can text or call our new member support number again at 574-767-1797. And you can text or you can leave a message either way, whichever you prefer. So I'm going to switch back to other camera.
