Heya Ledpig!
Since being discharged from the service as a disabled vet, I'm now letting the VA 'rehabilitate' me for civilian life

. I was instructed to pick something I was interested in and would provide an income for me and my family. Long story short: I decided to work towards my CFI, certified flight instructor.
I flew AH for a few years before I actually climbed into a cockpit. I think I made my instructor nervous asking him if neg G's would choke off a Cessna 172's engine. By the way, it does. And
THAT made him even more nervous...
Still can't get 'em to do an Immelman though!
