We fly to nashville often.. the last thing I want to do is slam into a building.. Thanks

I'm not a pilot, but after getting my car(s) sorted out I hope to be.

My hobbies are expensive and my income is very modest. Guitars+cars+planes.... it'll bankrupt me quickly.

<-----Pilot

PPL SEL/Multi/Comm/Instm
L382 type

USAF Senior Pilot (pin on Command Wings in Jan)

C-152/C-172/M-20C/T-37/T-38/C-130E/C-130K/C-130J/MC-130H

Probably 10-15hrs in ultra-lights before I got my PPL in '83

Plan to get re-current on the civil side & work towards CFII/MEI tickets

I also used to be Vertibird qualified, but it's been lapsed for some time. My son is chopper-command (new-age, safety-conscious verti-brid replacement - nowhere near as much fun) current though!

Bill, I think the statement reads: "How many pilots" (not how many spitfire pilots, fighter pilots, bomber pilots, warbird pilots, GA pilots, airline pilots. student pilots, jet pilots, glider pilots, private pilots or gunfighters, etc.) "are on this site"! IMHO, I think that Real Pilots count all aircraft as "real planes".

It's what you learn after you think you know it all, that counts.

I'm taking aircraft maintenance, one of my teachers used to be a 747 captain and makes more wise cracks about pilots than anyone else. He says a monkey could fly the 747, he was just a button pusher, and goes on to make many other jokes. Even the guys flying those gets joke about how it's not even flying it's playing a computer game. Of course I know when the computer breaks then you'll be happy to have that pilot up there, and they will be flying the plane.

Anyways, back on topic, I'm a PPL, licensed July 7 2007, drove to Thunder Over Michigan the same day, two great things in one day! I intend to continue on to a CPL after college, when some money starts flowing in, rather than gushing out! Some day I will fly warbirds, very few things can stop me from doing this, as it's been a dream of mine for many years. I've been involved with the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton Ontario since age 10, so I figure I have a foot in the door at least.

No, I am not a pilot, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express!

I do know how to work on some of them here and there and I am usually the passenger. I took some lessons back in High School and I am thinking of picking it up again, especially since the school I work at has an Aviation Dept.!!

Comm, MEL, INST. Now fly co-pilot on AC-47. Have been Very lucky and Great friends who let me fly B-25, A-26, T-6 etc. My first flight in a warbird Tallichet's B-24 with the Fork tailed devil (P-38) and Gunfighter when it had Blue paint. Today I flew a friends 4 year old son for his first ride, He was thrilled !

Way to go - ROESEN-HOSER!!!

Had and flew an Aeronca L-16, then an SNJ-5 (Bu 85028) for 9 years, and have just put a deposit on a T-28.

Well, lets just say we're working on it..
