Hey guys, can you imagine actually getting PAID to fly an F-15E? Or an F-16? Oh, baby...

I have about 500 hours in various single engine birds,my dad has his licence and when we went on holidays we went flying

Time i remember most was when we took a friend's Emeralde (homebuilt low winger...really nice) up and the engine cowl popped up into the prop at around 15 ft alt during takeoff,we declared an immediate RTB and put er down smartly

wow, guys!

I've always wanted to fly myself, especially after seing two RAF warbirds fly low over head when I was bout 11.

Now, I need to get my career in gear (starting university sept to be able to earn more. Late starter since I'm 25), so I can bak and debank the dough for a licence.

I have a dream though. I want a Catalina for a flying home one day, fly around the globe and write a book about it. Hows that?

Did any of you see combat flying? And if would you like to share some experiences?

Got my Gliders Lisence about a year ago, when I was 16, gonna log as many hours as possible this year, fly some distance and get used to some new types

I fly fairly often, but not as much as some. Delta and Northwest frequent flyer numbers available upon request should confirmation be neccesary.

Good to hear things are coming along for you, Cit.

Now I'm picking back up on my flying. I work for a company that charters Lear flights (you gotta be rich). Some of what we do is covered by confidentiality, but we also assist in organ donations, emergency medical flights (Mercy Angel), and the like. It's going to take another three months before I advance to PIC. So, I have to ask where you are taking your training (what are you going to do when you finish)? I have always had great disdane for commercial airlines (giant cattle cars), and I am looking forward to catering to the rich and famous (not to mention getting paid for flying a Lear).

There is a down side to all of this, though. I do get to fly a bunch (average 150 hours/month once I'm finished), and I get to go to school and learn aviation maintenance (AI), but it is seriously jeapardizing my flight sim time.

Hangtime, we have to get together and do some pattern flying.

I got over 50k hours there!

For all of you guys that would love to own a warbird; I visited a field up north where they do a lot of high dollar engine maintenance. The owner related to me several tales of executives offering up Mustangs in exchange for maintenance. The best acquisition so far? A P51H from Canada that exchanged hands for a $7,500 bill. Now, he's got his eyes open for me. Anything under $50k. My explanantion was that I intend to build a squadron.

Keep it safe, guys.
