Going on 200 hrs and an Instrument rating.

just over 15 hrs in an AT-6 and an SNJ, all dual. (lopping them together as one since they're basically the same airplane) flying to and from airshows with a late friend of mine who was killed performing in an airshow in the AT-6.

30 hrs tailwheel time on my own (aeronca chief, champ, Super-D, citabria and a precious few in a Pitts, also dual)

For those of you who think you can hop into a 'warbird' and fly it...you're wrong.  i've seen guys get thrown off the runway in C-180's and planes as small as taylorcrafts...and you wanna sling something around thats got 1000 or more horsepower.  I can see it now..."throttle to full, torque, 1.2.3.4.5.6 runway lights, groundloop, Deposit $100,000 into maintenance fund please."

Got the UFI from the EAA (Ultralight Flight Instructor) over the summer and give dual in a Challenger II, nifty gig and all it took was a checkride and a few hours of dual...its a nifty little plane for 15 grand.

Hopefully i've got a lot more hourse left and have been enjoying every minute.  maybe one day i'll have a career as distinguished as Voss' :D :lol :rofl :eek: :rolleyes:

:)  good to hear the voice of truth, far too many do equate the flight sim with real world flight ( someone told em about Microsoft Flight Simulator )LOL......same thing with bullets NOT the same here as in the real world, anyone in a ruch to go to Iraq, Iran or anywhere else to make a point or wreak vengence and havoc stop and think first please.

Ya only get ONE life over there,and it hurts ta get shot too. lLast I checked we only get 2 arms 2 legs and like that sooooooo, need I say more.

Thanks again for the truth, we need it sometimes;)
