I have a few hours in on a Cessna 152 (I think), but it was like 20 years ago.  :cry

I don't fly professionally yet, I am working towards doing airshow performances in my Edge 540T.  This summer will be attending a school by Sean D Tucker (Awesome airshow pilot) which will put me on that path!  CAN'T WAIT!  :rock

Sol

You seriously own an Edge540T?  Thats bad ass...can we get some pics?  :aok

Have you soloed yet?

No, not yet.  Almost on cue, several other real life factors really cut down on my available time, unfortunately.

Learning on a Diamond DA-40XLS.

We'll get there slowly but surely.  ;)

Now if I could just get all of us on one squad.  :devil

It wouldn't necessarily help.  I'm a professional pilot (CRJ here too), but I suck at air combat.

R/L I've been one of the lucky few to fly the Collings B-17 and B-24 (type rated).  I've also flown the TF-51 Crazy Horse and have a few flights in a T-6 (the piston powered one).  The rest of my time is in Cessnas mostly hauling skydivers.  Not currently flying AH...just not enough time in the day.

Sol, thats awesome! If you get to fly with Ben Freelove, he's a great pilot as well and flys with Sean.. I got to fly with him about 6 months ago in a Pitts S2B at the Tutima Academy.. Very very fun!  :cheers:

Haven't flown in 17 years since I failed my eye exam and found out the Air Force didn't need me. Spent most of my just over 100 hours in 172's (actually old T-41's that had been retired from AF service and were I guess given to the Aero Club at Myrtle Beach AFB where I did almost all my time flying)with a little time in a 152.

A few weeks ago I actually found a pic I took of the plane I spent most of my time in, a pic I took the day I solo'd it for the first time IIRC.

(Image removed from quote.)

Shot down quite a few Volkswagens and 1 BMW with that one!  :lol

R/C and small bush planes.

So, you're trying to tell us at that 12 years old you fly small bush planes in addition to R/C planes?
