Well, seems others have a thread devoted to them, I might as well have my 15 minutes.
[gloat]
Sunday is my birthday, and should be a blast! My first flying lessons a AND I get to go to a shooting range. [/gloat]
-
who do you get to shoot?
Oh wait... shooting RANGE...
My bad. Try paintball. It provides the satisfaction of shooting your best friend, while not actually killing him.
Better yet, do a fly by during a paintball match.

I'm a huge fan of paintball, been playing a good 5 years :) .

Have a great Birthday Mensa
.

Make it a good one Mensa. Just don't auger in the real thing. Wrecking cartoon 38s is one thing. No SAPP augering rules apply to the real thing :)
I took my first flying lesson shortly after turning 16 and I neve augered the real thing even once. No parts left in farm fields, definately remembered things like flaps, trim etc :)
-
lol, I don't plan on letting my SAPP tendencies taking over.

happy birthday!<>
whatcha flyin? cessna 152 is a pretty cool little airplane....but most of the time agonizingly slow. if you can afford the extra and want to fly a cessna, try to fly a 172.........another option, is a diamond DA 20.....VERY nice airplane.....and low fuelburn too...i think cruise is around 120 or so on 6 gallons/hour.
who ya strapping to the target post at the range?:D shooting......archery or handguns? both are fun, although i lean towards archery......and that mostly due to money..as in i spend too much flying.
good luck sir!!

I'll be shooting handguns, but I do have a makeshift archery range in my back yard. I got two pizza boxes, duct taped them on top of each other, and propped it up against a cinder block.

Happy pre birthday Mensa... One of the beers I have this weekend will be dedicated to you

Is there a chance that the bullet or BB will ricochet??? :D

Happy Birthday.
Side note on shooting. The police came by the other day and stopped me from shooting my 20MM in the backyard. At first I thought they found out where my shine cooker was but a neighbor was complaining about the noise the explosions were making in his backyard outhouse. The good news is the po po told me I could still shoot my M2 -.50cal as long I quit shooting up his outhouse. Now I have to find a new target.
Wanna fly by my backyard this Sunday?

Heh, Yes the police have already stopped by my house because apparently it's illegal to shoot any projectiles in the city (paintball guns, 22s, bb guns etc).
So, I thought I'd take my chances with archery, my neighbors have seen me do it, and haven't called them yet, so I guess they're okay with it.

Happy Birthday .. what a great present!
There is nothing like flyin.
You'll notice the frame rate is very good even at the high detail setting it runs at,
..full motion during maneuvering can be disconcerting, especially during stall maneuvers,
..the sound system is pretty elaborate, and
.. the lack of view keys.

It's a *blast* to do pattern work.. even without someone vulching the field.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, just remember that if you crash in that plane, you don't usually get the chance to re-up immediately.....
Have fun shooting, it's a fun thing to do.
-
Gee, not even on his birthday do you show him ur pot if gold? Come on... do that little leprechaun dance.

Happy Birthday Mensa and Firbal.....have a great day.......

Well the first half of my birthday was a blast!(pun intended) I gotot to shoot a Glock 9mm for a while, and I'm a pretty good shot as well.
We called about the flying lessons, and it turns out the plane wasn't available that day, so we've rescheduled for tomorrow sometime between 2-5PM.
Should be very fun.
