Hi. Im John Shore, living in Hagersville. I have recently moved towards a lifelong dream to become a pilot. I have purchased a Zenith Zodiak 601 XLB with 50 hours on the airframe and engine. I was plans building the 601 XL model about 20 years ago but gave it up when several of the airframes broke up in flight. The B mods have addressed the issues. The plane is currently disassembled and is in my garage. I plan to start my ppl this year. I have joined the burlington eaa chapter and will lean heavily on them for guidance including assistance from their MD RA resources. I will also seek guidance from a few friends who are experienced commercial pilots. I hope to obtain my night rating and instrument rating. I want to focus on effective management of factors relevant to GA incidents including pilot error, as statistically flying GA aircraft is even more risky than riding a motorcycle. ( I hit a deer on a motorcycle ). For fun and a rich life I rely on Christ. My interests focus on relationships, music, family, mechanical maintenence, golf, and scuba diving. I am a professional engineer with 40 years industry experience and currently operate an engineering services firm spawned out of my early retirement. As the saying goes, there are no old bold pilots. It looks like I'm an old new pilot and I want to make sure the experience is safe, enjoyable, and worthwhile and that it centres around my first love as all things should, to love the lord, bless others. and enjoy life in Christ.
