I have done it!
« Reply #15 on: March 11, 2005, 12:05:22 PM »
You're taking that a lot more seriously than I ever did.  I said I'd go and verify P-51 and airline jibjab.  They both checked out.  I didn't ask for military records, his logbook, his degree and every other little thing you're calling into question.

He had photo albums, his pilot certificate and wouldn't ya know...it was true.  That's all I verified I don't care enough about the rest to ask.  You still have not given me any proof that you have any information.  You have not given me the name you're using, who he really is if you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he's lying and you haven't proven a thing to me or anyone else.  You post just the way you claim he is, with no evidence to support your position so as far as I'm conerned you're no better than what you claim he is.

You have my email...give me some proof since you're so steadfast on demanding it of him.  If you don't have it...here.  This isn't a BBs issue anymore, I'm sick and tired of your attitude which is you're basking in your greatness of ousting a liar without providing one single shred of physical evidence to support your stance.  In your own words...prove it.

Ah, 'digital zoom'.  The exciting new feature from the camera manufacturers that lets you turn even the clearest new camera into a circa 1900s mobile daguerotype, except without the charm.

LOL chairboy...the manual (not that I read it or anything hehe) didn't mention that using the digital zoom feature would turn your photos into matthew brady quality.

I never seem to get the memo's :)

With regards to the "Airplane" category...I have gone as far as I am allowed to go.  I'm not 23 yet so I cannot recieve an ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) certificate.

It's a pretty cool feeling, I think I've gotten taller now that this huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.  :)

With regards to multiengine airplanes...I can teach in the following (This just means I have a minimum 5 hrs Pilot In Command [PIC] in them)

Piper PA-23 Aztec and Apache
Piper PA-44 Seminole
Piper PA-?? Seneca (too lazy to look in the logbook)
Beech BE-76 Duchess
Beech BE-58 Baron
This more or less covers all multiengine trainers and commonly seen twins.  I need a few more hours in a C-310 but there aren't a ton of those around in the training world anyway.  I'm one of two MEI's on the field now (And if I may say so...the only one with a personality:) ) so hopefully I'll get some business from them.

I hope to add-on Commercial Glider to my pilot certificate and Glider Instructor ratings this summer though.  We'll see how that goes, because I'll be exchanging glider instruction for golf instruction :D

Too much zoom will mess your pictures also because you really need a tripod for something past 3x. With a steady hand you can manage maybe 6x but after that it's usually a joke to even try.

Just turn your resolution to the maximum and use only the optical zoom. For long distance shots you can buy a zoom objective (assuming your camera is a decent one) with which you can take great long distance shots providing you use a tripod.

I see commercial glider, and it got my imagination going.

"Las Vegas approach, United heavy 493 tango with you on the VOR, extreme fuel saving measures in effect, request straight in approach, full stop with Tango."

"United 493, we've got a lot of traffic today, enter on the right base for sequenced landing, you're number eight following a Delta Speedbird, just crossing the marker.  Turn to oh-niner-oh now, maintain flight level 210."

"Ah, Las Vegas approach, unable.  Request immediate transition to flight level one zero zero to facillitate compressor start."

Chairboy what happened in your avatar?

Did the pilot eat Dave's insanity or what? It couldn't break the sound barrier. :)

You never verified his claims of 51 LOA.  You never verified the certificate, hell, you can look that up.  You said you saw it, but not the LOA.

Straiga seems to be rubbing off on you.  :rolleyes:

YOUR Avatar, on the other hand, is scaring the hell out of me.  My avatar is just me trying to get away from scary mouth lady.  :D

Golfer, did you get my E-mail?
« Reply #29 on: March 12, 2005, 08:49:11 AM »
Golfer, I sent an E-mail to the address you posted with what I think is more than enough proof.

Did you get it?
