Checking primary training logbooks
« on: September 11, 2024, 09:27:08 AM »
And finding many planes I flew have been balled up.

N4599L was my favorite airplane at Dulles Aviation because it was a full IFR equipped C152 meaning lower rates than something larger.   

It was pranged twice after I had flown it.   

I worked for Dulles Aviation on the Colgan Airways  end of W10

Have a few in mine as well.

172 that was my favorite during initial and first choice for flights post checkride is gone. No details on how.
PA44 that I did my most of my multi/com spun in with 4 on board during a training flight.
B99 that I did my first line training/135 check in CFIT'd and took my training captain/check airman with it during a training flight.

Those are the only one's I ever really kept up with. Wonder if there are any new additions since last time I looked.

Looking for more logbooks from back then but it might be possible that I got my multi. in the Cessna 310 that's a gate guard at MDH airport as well as trained in the C150 also on display.

This was my first assigned tail number, “Oh 2 6” at Minot AFB.



It is now resting comfortably in the Gulf of Mexico after it’s short life as full scale target drone.

I have no idea if any of the planes I flew were crashed. I do know that of the 3 instructors I had, one didn't make it past her first job past instructing. She went in due to vertigo in IFR conditions with a light twin AC.

I had 3 instructors as the first got a job as a forest fire fighter dropping retardant. I suppose it might be safer than a basic flight instructor job. The second took the first commercial job she could get (she WAS a good instructor IMO) and I think it was flying light freight like checks. I wasn't given the whole story, just told she passed when I came in to rent one of the school traumahawks for more hours.

I have no idea about the third guy. I didn't care much for him at all.

Due to the changing of instructors I ended up using more hours to get my license because two of them needed me to show proficiency before continuing the process. As a result I got the license in 44 hours vs 40 that I was aiming for.

N714JB was exported to south africa and is now called ZS-PVY. 

N714JB was reassigned to a Falcon 2000 business jet.

Looking good.
