Soloed on the morning of my 16th birthday in 1974 and flunked my drivers test that afternoon (no joke)! Private Ticket on my 17th birthday. Still flying. :)

Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

'68 C172 with a 220hp Franklin and constant speed seaplane prop. Usually on Floats. Haven't flown it in 2 years, waiting for my prop governor to return from repair shop now. Off to get my Instrument and comercial ratings next month.

Hey, Eagl, I'll trade ya :D

It's been a few years and my license is in need of renewal but I've flown the usual stuff, 152, 172 but my favorite was a Katana.






Note the stick in the above pic.  Yokes are for making eggs.... Sticks are for flying

Also note the bubble canopy.  All composite construction.  For low end aircraft this plane was the best.  I swear if it had 6 .50's on it..... :eek:


Eagl.  That's a damn nice ride.  Know where I can get checked out in one of those :D

I have a commercial licence for Helicopters which I do as a partime job. Mostly PnC time in H500's though some Jetranger time as well.

my cousin (a cute chick with a wierd first name :) designed the alot of the software for that bird.  I'm no expert but I am gonna assume that is an E.

Cessna 402 because (lol A26 pure coinecidence trust me) Queen Air cost too much to fly.  

Anyone guess her first name (on the E project) and I just gonna have to shoot ya.

I'm not, but my husband, Zeb, is.... at least he took his Private Pilots License a good few years ago now, though has not been able to keep it current.  He learned to fly in a Piper Cherokee at a Flight School (Air Navigation & Training) at Blackpool in the UK.  Some pics of him and our son, Cloud[y], checking out one of the aircraft he regularly flew in....

Past tense for me, but accrued about 900 hours, many in this...
