A&P earned at same time as instrument and multi-rating.

I then spent the next decade spending most every penny on flight time in a variety of planes, washing/waxing/fixing planes for right seat time on hundreds of different types, eastern airlines pilot entry program, accepted to comair a couple of weeks before 9/11.....etc.

Haven't flown anything other than dad's C177 for the last decade.

Why thank you raynos! I'm no B-24 type rated or anything, but I do have a lot of fun in my 180!

Nice.  I had a 180 with a nose wheel (1957 182) for 9 years.  Awesome airplanes.

Only 495 hours here, but fun ones. I've owned a few planes, KR-2, Quickie, Geresport Biplane, and a 1941 Culver Cadet. Here are some photos of the last two.

My knowledge on antique aircraft is still developing, but upon further research, there was only one original Gere Sport built. Is that the original, or a plans built replica? Either way it's a realy impressive sport plane!

Pineapple -  Should you ever find yourself on final for 12L KSAT give us a wing wave just after you cross Bitters!

I had to interrupt my training 27-years ago (Randolph Aero Club) but I managed to log about 20-hours before the first baby arrived.  When I finally had enough money to finish, I flunked the physical.  Jeez.  Not meant to be.

Happy landings!

Private Pilot here with Night rating and OTT Rating (Canadian pilot). Unfortunately don't get to fly as much nowadays but when I do usually the Cessna 172.

I also have .9 hours logged and recorded in my books on the SNJ4 / Texan / Harvard :)

Cheers!
