"what do you fly in RL?"


A Case W-14 front-end loader, a Euclid haul truck, and a Daewoo forklift.

LOL, well.. anything can beat the antiquated pieces of s*** my 70+ year old boss has us running. Point being, we have a 1966(?) Cat 988 Loader, the Case W-14's are nearly 30 years old. The Euclid haul truck was made in 1947. I hate my job. I used to trim trees out of powerlines for a living. I "flew" a bucket on a 60' boom, and climbed other trees for 3 1/2 years before my inner-ear infection squashed that job.

I still keep in practice though with my own gear.

I sometimes jump off of my top step and fly to the ground...

I have 2 hours in a Cessna which qualified me to fly the bat plane.  I'm flight lead of the 1st  Fandango Bats bollocks outta the freakin bat cave.

Going for my first intro flight next month. Want to see if I'm cut out for it in rl before I go for more. I drive a boat at work but get it into low orbit every now and then.

congrats james on taking that first jump there is nothing like that first time going up.  my into flight was awesome  i will never forget when the cfi looked over at me and said, "your airplane."

[james]

How many hours do you need for a license and how much yearly to upkeep a cessna? Boat really stands for break out another thousand. Are planes the same as far as that goes?

[Gixer]

H300 and H500s rated, but the hours have dropped since I moved to Australia and the sky rocketing price (until last week) of fuel.

6.2 hrs in C172, haven't been at real controls in about 8 yrs.  Had to stop cuz I couldnt afford it, but now I can, and dont understand why I haven't resumed.  Thanx for the thread, I think I may restart now!

[Bucky73]

Gettin more and more time in this (Cirrus)



Most time in a 206 which I LOVE....



Couple hundred hours in 172's and about 80 in 152


Oh..... and 1 hour of backseat "incentive ride" time in a F-16D which rocked even though I hurled 3 times

[Anaxogoras]

Ok, to take this post more seriously:



I sat in the co-pilot seat while my friend lead me through some loops, rolls, stalls and spins.  Was lots of fun.  I even did a loop and a barrel roll all by myself.

Like a lot of others I've also spent some time in the 172.

I flew this over the wall last year crushing my right hand in the process, thats why i really only GV or buff as a result. Does this count?

I THINK IT'S MIN. 40 HOURS TO EARN YOUR PPL.
i'm told most average around 60 hours, but not sure.
don't know the upkeep, as i rent.

 it's MORE than worth the time and effort to get your PPL though.

good luck
