I'm Sean Walsh a Commercial Pilot CFI who for the past 8 years has had the good fortune to pilot N7458V a 1975 Mooney Executive 21. Our company owns 58Victor which we bought in 2000 to better service our client base in the metro Boston, New York, Philadelphia and DC markets.
Shortly after aquiring Vicky we lost our primary account (the one we needed the airplane for) which was a large portion of our annual revenue.
We had mortgage on the airplane and after the downturn in technology was joined by the rest of business in New York City after 9/11/2001 we ended up upside down in the plane.
Well life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. With all that extra time on my hands from my semi-employed status as a Network Engineer/Technical Project Manager I turned to 58V like an alcoholic turns to a drink. I started flying the Mooney whenever I wasn't working
I met a few other guys at the airport who were in similar situations and we would pair off and fly each others airplanes so none of our significant others would catch on to the fact that we were spending our waking/working hours in fun and exciting places.
Now in 2008 I'm in year 3 of sheparding a MSP/SaaS startup and trying to reinvent my technology career because I'm waay too young to retire yet too old to be entry level at anything.
The intention of this blog is to allow me to have some hands on experience with Windows Sharepoint Services v3.0 while giving me a forum to speak about Aviation, the kind I'm interested in, small general aviation airplanes flown by owner pilots, on cross country trips.
We still have 58V and I'll be telling you a whole lot more about her as this progresses.
Welcome aboard and stop by often.
