About Me

My photo
Larry M. Coleman
I'm an airline pilot and a CFI, CFII (CFI - Instrument), and MEI (Multi-engine Instructor). Since I can't get enough of aviation, I also have an AGI (Advanced Ground Instructor) and IGI (Instrument Ground Instructor) certificate. I spent years as the IT guy for a hospital, but after getting tired of feeling like I was living in the movie Office Space, I decided that the only office worth sitting in all day was one a mile in the sky. Now I get paid to, as John Gillespie Magee, Jr. so elegantly put it, "dance the skies on laughter-silvered wings, climb sunward and join the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, and do a hundred things you have not dreamed of." I also teach the Private Pilot Ground School (AVIA 111) at Lorain County Community College, so you can earn college credit while you earn your pilot certificate!
