Shane Lowney on Flying his Cessna 182

-
Shane Lowney wanted to a fighter pilot when he was a boy. As he grew up, he had to abandon that dream to attend the Florida Institute of Technology and major in Mechanical Engineering, a profession that allows him the freedom and the stability to buy his own plane and fly. Lowney works for a local engineering firm in Tampa Bay, Florida. He and his wife Catherine live in Tampa and love to take the Cessna out for a spin whenever they can. Lowney is busy in his duties as the project management coordinator for the engineering company for which he works in addition to his freelancing operations as an engineer for various local clients, but he loves to take the Cessna out with his wife whenever possible.

The Cessna 182 was originally introduced in 1956. It is the second-most popular Cessna model after only the 180. The model became so popular because of the ease of use and the utility of the aircraft and the improvements that were added after the release of the first models. Shane Lowney wanted a small plane he and his wife could zip around in and the four-seat capacity of the 182 makes that possible while adding extra room for friends. Between 1956, when the original 182 came out and 1967, Cessna came out with a variety of variants of their second-most popular model.

Shane Lowney loves to fly his Cessna 182 whenever he has a chance. He loves the classic design and the quickness of its handling in the air, as well as its zippy engine. The Lowneys can be found cruising the airways above a small airstrip they rent out every once in a while near their home in Tampa Bay.

Shane Lowney - Presenting Yourself on Paper

-
Showing potential employers how valuable you can be without meeting them is extremely difficult. However, the purpose of Resumes, CVs, Cover Letters, and applications is to allow employers and HR departments to get a feel for who you are before meeting you. Technically speaking, the documents mentioned above are to present your qualifications to an employer or department and show you are qualified for a job. However, it is quite common for multiple qualified people to apply for the same position. Because of job searching becoming streamlined on the Internet, it is common for some positions to get hundreds of applications. Should an employer have to interview every single qualified candidate?

Shane Lowney Still Views Remnants of Early Tampa Today

-
Unknown to residents like Shane Lowney today, Tampa, Florida in the United States suffered from periodic yellow fever epidemics which drove more and more residents away in the 1800’s, resulting in the abolition of the Tampa government in 1869.  The discovery of phosphate deposits nearby in the mid 1880’s, a mineral which is used in fertilizers, encouraged the economic fortunes of Tampa, which continues to be a major source of phosphate.  The arrival of the railroad corresponded with the founding of Ybor City by Martinez Ybor, who moved his cigar manufacture from Key West to Tampa, and the town which was all but dead suddenly boomed with new life.  Tampa was one of the largest cities in Florida by 1900, both through exports of seafood and phosphate and Ybor cigars by rail, and import of the first tourists. Native and Tampa lover Shane Lowney has immediate physical access to the history of Tampa , which was formed by industrialists like Ybor and his cigars a...

Traveling and Things You Should Consider

Traveling is hard for some people and easy for others. Many people enjoy a certain amount of traveling, but it also exhausts some. As with most things, a healthy balance must exist to make traveling a worthwhile activity. Many people enjoy going on road trips over the weekend and doing little activities such as camping or hiking. Some people would prefer to go abroad and find new places far away from where they live. Here are a few things people should consider when planning a trip: What are you traveling for? Is there somewhere or someone or something you want to see? Is there an experience you are looking for in particular? Knowing exactly what you wish to get out of a trip can be helpful. Where do you want to go? Sometimes this question is difficult to answer, and people don’t have any definite idea of where they want to go. Many people hope to go to Europe, but don’t realize it would take a year or two to tour all of that land. What do you want to do there? S...
