Title: I'm a fluff'n Pilot!
Post by: Virage on September 11, 2003, 05:15:52 PM: Just got me license and I'm piss'n on every tree I see!

Oh how it must suck to be a mire mortal. :p

Seriously.. if your thinking about it.. DO IT. Beg, borrow or steal if you have to. You won't be sorry.

My first flight instructor told me on my first flight to remember:

"It is always better to be on the ground and wish you were flying than to be flying and wish you were on the ground"

Be prepared and always remember in an emergency never quit flying the aircraft. Only had a couple of inflight emergencies nothing major. But I have had several instances while driving a car that I was able to drive my way out of of several accidents.

Congrats welcome to the club.

Good Luck and when in doubt stay on the ground.

Ability to fly backwards is a sign of a real pilot ;)

Been a commercial helicopter pilot for 10 years....still learning how to fly the damn things. Oh well, at least I only ever scare myself now.
Clocked a Mallard duck at 60 mph last spring. Who knew a duck was so fast?

So true..."Flying is mans second greatest thrill.....Landing is the first."

If the wing dont swing, it ain't a wing.

While I don't have a licence just yet, I work on both helo's and fixed wing, have to say the helos are much more FUN.

Like my favorite pilot always says "You can land anywhere once."

He is a Ret Lt Col cobra/apache pilot. (makes for some fun rides)

Post by: Virage on September 12, 2003, 05:45:44 PM: Thnx all!

And advice is taken to heart. I know I'm a very small fish in a very big pool with alot to learn still.

But this morning, I did indulge in watching another pilot takeoff and wobble into the pattern. All the while coaxing him what to do under my breath! Felt like a real old salt. lol. It is funny how pilots watch take offs and landings out of the corner of thier eyes!
