fly for fun when I can .. time in 172's, stearman biplane, aeronca champ, ..and best hour on the planet in Crazy Horse with Lee a few years back.

He still doesn't beleive I only had 18 hours total when I went 'hands on' with Crazy Horse and just danced in the clouds.
Still smile every time I think of that hour .. was more fun than I imagined it would be.

..prolly have well over 3k hours 'simulated' in the '51 ..all the numbers I knew by heart, even the popup for simulated strafing run down in the weeds at that Naval Weapon training center ..over the field at 400 indicated and zero altitude, 3g pull to wingover and line up at 3500 ft AGL ..off the 'target' at 200' and away over the tree tops near 400 again ..it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon :)

I am an A&P and would like to take it one step further and learn to fly,  but the lack of money is keeping me from doing so.  Anyone up for some trade work? :D

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

Same here, in a Cessna 150, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

My Dad, who recently retired from teaching A&P mechanics, built himself a Fisher Celebrity (image is an example, not his plane).

My brother (with multi-engine, CFI, etc.) works in aviation insurance. He got to shake Sully's hand, the lucky dog!

Started flying in 1969 mostly in the Taylor BL-65 and BC-12D tail daggers and the Cessna 150 and 172s. I Even crashed an ultra light in 91. Don't fly any more do to a Stroke and heart problems except carton planes here in Aces High.

Never got to fly with Sean Tucker but I got to go to a private show he put on for the company my sister works for (OregonAero) in Scappoose.
He is a great pilot & a great guy. He even let me ham it up with his aerobatics team.  :lol
