Very cool D!  Hope you *make* some time to persue it what with this game eating up so much.

Of course it's all tax deductable for you - write it off as R n D costs - seriously.

BTW Sorta doing it backwards.

FAA took 4 months on medical.

Allready have all instruction except for checkride prep complete. The short and soft fields are great fun.

Got my tail wheel,flying a cub and super decathalon,along with few hours of acro. Currently getting checked out for an RV8 that wants to have my name on it.

And a fairly unique thing is my first log book entry is a TF-51D.

And yes, the 172 is still in nice and shiny shape.


Thanks gents.

Congratulations Dale dood :)

Yer logbook sounds a bit like mine :)
C-172, Aeronca Champ, Stearman PT-17, TF-51D ..
..then there's the C-180 a friend let me fly to Vegas from Ontario that got me 'in the mood' to go for the license to begin with.. we flew up and landed on a dry lake for the quarter scale R/C Nats one year long ago .. it's the only way to 'arrive' at an R/C show :)

I still get all smiley rememberin some of the planes I have been lucky enough to fly.. and some of the stuff I was able to do in them.
The Mustang with Lee was still the best time I have ever had in a machine on this planet :)
He still doesn't beleive I only had 17 hrs of Dual when we danced.

-GE (ground school instructor had the right of it when she said she envied me .. so many 'firsts' to look forward to .. she said 'wait till I fly a Pitts ..they are FUN' -evil grin- ..haven't yet .. but it's on my list :)

WTG hitech!

I still remember my first time. Ran out of $ before I could go all the way. Then I started having kids, and finally became a teacher. That really put the nail in the coffin. ;)  

Some day..... some day I will finish and take my wife flying. That is one of my dreams. :)

Congratulations HT,

I remember my first solo,

we have a tradition in Napoli Intl Airport, when the pilot land the first solo, the tower (that it's obviously informed that this was a first solo) said :

"Benvenuto, Comandante...." that mean : "welcome captain"

You take off as a recruit and come back as pilot.

Nice sensation, indeed :)
