Hey, are you interested in knowing what it takes to go from off the street to CFII certified flight instrument instructor in six months? Check this out. And then I'm going to tell you how you can do it.
Family here at Sevier county choppers in Sevierville, Tennessee. Just want to let you know over the weekend, November 10th 11th. Yeah. On the day I completed my C5C of double I, I, I just want to say thank you for all the help I did. For me, HOGS is more than just an online ground school. It's more than that. Every time I had a question, y' all always answered it on time. Y' all made it very personal. Each person means something to y' all and it's very nice to see someone out there that really cares about you. So thank you for all the help y' all done. And I'd like to have a shout out to my instructor Nick, who got me another guy single handed through instrument and commercial. Had a big row in getting both her through CFI and cfi. You know, let it give us, let's see. This is Nick. What's going on, hogs. So say thank you and have a good day.
So I'm Kenny Keller, the creator of Helicopter Line Ground School and author of the Amazon number one bestseller Helicopter Checkride. The young man you're going to see in this picture. I'll have Gary share the picture with you on the screen. Taz Christman and I 2018 flying structure of the year. Taz met Kyle, this young man, Kyle at heli expo this year during lunch and Kyle was telling me his struggles about getting a start and getting into the industry. And he's like, well, what's a young guy like me supposed to do? And I said, study hard. Network yourself. Talk to people. You know, be the best you can be. Well, shortly after having this great conversation with Kyle, I go outside and I walk outside the building and I hear, hey, helicopter Ground school. And I'm like, look over. And I'm like, hey, Sevier county chopper guys. Well, we get talking and they said, hey, you know how we always take people from off the street to double I and give them a job? And I'm like, yeah, of course. First one being Travis. That's on the COVID of the book here. Helicopter Checkride. I'll mention him more a little bit. Anyway, I said, yeah, I know, of course Travis did it. And you know what a wonderful thing you guys did for him. And they said, right now we have no students. And I said, you're kidding me. You have one of the best programs on the planet, and you don't have any students. So I do a Facebook live video real quick. Say, hey, for those of you looking for your start. You want training, you want your first job? Here it is. And I go back in the building, my phone's going crazy, and Kyle comes running to find me because he saw the video, and of course, I hooked him up. Sevier county choppers. Within a few days, he's making a trip over there to see these guys. They get hooked up, and Kyle contacts me through Facebook, all excited, going, kenny, Kenny. I'm their newest student. Well, today he's a double eye. And he sent us videos from the instrument rating, the commercial rating during that time. He also sends me a picture. One day he's reading this book, and he goes, hey, this dude I know wrote this book and just kind of a joke. And I go, well, hey, you realize that Travis on the COVID he went to Sevier county choppers as well. And he was like, you're kidding me. So in all the excitement, Kyle's there getting through the ratings, reading this book, and as we're just kind of chatting in messenger, I'm telling him about Travis, who did the same thing off the street to cfi. They gave him a job flying tours, built up his time, and now he's out there flying ems. So for all the naysayers that say it can't be done, it can. These guys worked hard, they saved their money, they put their nose to the grindstone, and they figured out a way to do it. So now I want to share the videos from the instrument commercial checkrides from Kyle.
Hey, hogs, this is Kyle. It is July 18th. Just passed my instrument trek ride, and just want to say, I wouldn't have done it without y'. All. So thank everybody for helping me out and shout out to Taz for always hear me writing him and complaining to him. You know, Kenny, for reaching out. And I'll be all done. Everybody else in the video that helped. So I thank y' all and would make a better video, but I'm tired, but thank you. Hey, hogs, this is Kyle back again. It is July 19th. I just did my commercial. I got my commercial ready. Say thank you for all you've done. Say thanks to our Sevier county choppers in Sevierville for letting me come here and get my license. So say thank everybody in the video. Without you, I don't know if I could do this. I watch your videos when I'm cooking and cleaning, and it's a big help. So everybody putting on the hard time that got me to where I am. So say thank you. If you haven't got hogs, get it. And Kenny, you know where to sit. In my shirt.
So you can see the excitement in Kyle from those two ratings. And I just wanted to make a video today since I had everybody here and I thought, you know what, this is a story that we need to tell two of our guys that have went to Sevier county choppers basically off the street to double I in six months, give the guys jobs, get them their start in the industry. So these opportunities are out there. You have to seek them out. You have to sell yourself. So I wanted to just share briefly the, you know, the hogs wall here. This is our helicopter and ground school wall of fame. So right now, Kyle's our newest hogs hero. And it's just amazing. You know, it's days like today where your job isn't a job, you know, any entrepreneur or business person. Some days you wonder, is it all worth it? Today's like today, it's totally worth it when you get the feedback from somebody like Kyle, somebody who you helped get a start in industry. And all I did was just make a, you know, a connection between shaking hands here and there. And we helped Kyle with the ground school, but his instructor is Nick, who is a longtime ground school member. I'll put his picture up or Gary could share his picture. I met Nick at Sevier county choppers several years ago. Go down there one day and I'm in the hangar and I hear Kenny Keller and out comes Nick. So Nick, Kyle's instructor helicopter land ground school member that now works at Sevier county choppers, and he also trained there as well.
