Lemonhead

Currently, I am working towards becoming an advanced EMT to fly with the Back Country Search & Rescue Team. It will be a real privilege and honor once I become certified. I have at least one more year of training in numerous areas along with getting hours logged in with patient care. I am really enjoying myself. If fact I have class tonight for three hours. I actually love learning anything and everything. I haven’t stopped since high school. I figure I am a professional student.

My pictures finally came in from my first flight which was only a jump. All 30 minutes from point A to B and back. It was wonderful but too short. The most dangerous parts of flying are landing and taking off. Not that I didn’t trust the pilot but the trees and power lines that surrounded the helio pad as we came in made me take a big gulp.

I had to use a throw-away camera as my digital was being used by my husband in Las Vegas. The members of the crew are called Lemonheads. Guess why. The helicopter was comfortable if not loud and noisy and the view of my home town was spectacular. I want to do it again! and again....
