As a newly minted pilot, when I first heard about CtO my initial reaction when I read the minimum requirements, was to say "see you in five years." Actually, I did say something similar, and decided to back out. At that point I received a number of emails encouraging me to join the group ensuring me that safety was the number one priority, and no one would let me get into trouble. It was suggested that I try a clinic and reserve judgment until then. I heeded the advice and headed for KJEF. I want to thank you all for making me feel welcome, for providing exceptional training, and for bringing me into your family.
