Ewwwww.. you flew an airbus? ptewey.

I'd show a pic of me from 75, but its just me and my brother standing in a wading pool in the front yard.  If I had to grab a pic of me next to (or in) a fighter, it'd have to be from the 80's... and the internet just isn't ready for that one yet.

I've sat in several fighters... never flown in any.  Flown in virtually every type of Air Force cargo plane as a passenger... and too many comercial airliners to remember.

Sometimes I envy you Toad... thanks for limitting that envy by actually posting a picture;)

1. If you knew more about me, trust me, you wouldn't envy me!

2. Friends don't let Friends fly Airbus! Lockheed L-1011 TriStar... the best "flying" (stick and rudder) transport I've ever had the pleasure to fly.

3. I've still got almost the exact same hairline I had then. Maybe a little recession at the top of the forehead.. a little. Problem is the rest of the forest seems to have been thinned out some since those days.... it's there, but it's just not as thick.

Ah.. thanks for clearing that up.  I thought the L-1011 was an Airbus for some reason.  Did not know lockhead made much in the passenger jet department.

And I envy the flying part.  I don't envy the always having to use "I'm a pilot" as a come on line... or things like that.
