Not long ago, one of our interns knocked on my door and said "Mr. Greg, I want to learn to fly so I bought this book my dad's friend told me about, what else should I be doing?" When he held up the 2020 FAR/AIM it was all I could do not to vomit, laugh and roll my eyes at the same time (although what a feat that would be).
So, where do I get the nerve to write a blog about flight training? Here is my story. I started flying with my father when I was six, attempted to solo at age 7 but Guinness took that particular record out of the book (too risky in their eyes) and since 2011 have been involved in flight training, FBO Operations, maintenance facilities and 145 avionics shops.
(Columbia Football 2010)
My point being, I grew up around and have since jumped back into aviation, but never really got INTO aviation as a career (professional aviator or mechanic), and it is for that reason that I believe I have a slightly different take on flight training, and more specifically, explaining flight training to novice, intermediate and military aviators. Although I promise you I have definingly NOT "seen it all" I have been able to collect quite a bit of information in the near decade I have been in this business and want to share my information and experiences (both good and bad) with anyone who (hopefully) is reading this. I really wanted to write this blog for two reasons:
1) I always felt that when I heard "experts" speak about or attempt to sell flight training it usually sounded unnecessarily difficult.
2) I am amazed on how much misinformation or (perhaps more accurately) bad information seems to be circulated for aspiring, civilian and military pilots.
(Speaking at the 2019 FedEx Pilot Expo)
Which brings me back to my intern.... The first, or I guess now technically second blog in this series going to write will be geared towards those who dream about getting into flying but may not truly understand the first step, so I hope to see you there!
Lastly, in an attempt to make this blog as interactive as I can, I would ask that you email me your questions or blog topics if you have any to greg@skywarriorinc.com , and if I have an opinion or any experience with the subject I will gladly share it.

Street fashion becomes truly exciting when confidence and originality come together, and today’s urban trends clearly reflect that spirit. Clean silhouettes, bold attitude, and comfortable fits have reshaped modern streetwear culture, where Trapstar is no longer just a clothing label but a statement of identity. The brand’s strong detailing and authentic street influence show how fashion can be a powerful form of self-expression rather than just a visual trend.
Really enjoyed this post. The way you connect flight training with the idea of keeping things simple truly resonates. Stripping away unnecessary complexity helps pilots stay focused, confident, and consistent, which is a mindset that applies far beyond aviation. I’ve seen the same principle work in everyday routines and even in how people choose what to wear. A clean, uncomplicated approach often delivers the best results. That’s actually why I gravitate toward Essentials Clothing on my own e-commerce store. Just like effective flight training, well-designed essentials focus on comfort, reliability, and clarity without distractions. Simplicity, whether in the cockpit or daily life, really does create stronger outcomes.
Streetwear continues to evolve, and Trapstar is part of that shift. This topic invites predictions about the brand’s future role in street fashion. Users can debate sustainability, innovation, and long-term relevance.
I really like the style and quality of Syna World clothing. The designs feel modern, and the comfort level is great for daily wear. Definitely a brand worth checking out.
