Everybody should be a pilot, especially nowadays where electronic makes everything easier for low time pilots.

Here's some cargo run enjoyment in a Metroliner (still my favorite airframe to date, so mechanical and raw) cruising canyons and a short approach to make up the time I lost goofing around

 I agree Frenchy but I cant pass a physical and have developed a fear of heights!

  I have about 6 hours in a 172 and 45 mins in a stearman,thats when I discovered I prefer my feet on the ground!.......


   The shame of it is I have the time and money to persue a PPL but I would never pass the physical and my eyesight cant be trusted,so for the safety of all you real fliers I'll stick to flying my comp!

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

At least it's a tail-dragger. 

I never had a license, I have cool friends: I have 3.75 hrs in an Aviat Husky and 2.5 hrs in a Cessna Skymaster (I even got to take off and land both planes).

The Skymaster before it became air-worthy: my reward for helping the owner clean it up was to get to ride in it and a little "stick time".


The Husky:

Got my PPL about 20 years ago. I was checked out in the Cessna 152, Piper Warrior, and Piper Cherokee. I was going to school to become a commercial airline pilot.

I lost interest while going for the instrument rating. I realized I was most attracted to the daredevil aspects of flying, not the long flights. I dreaded the cross-county flights.

My aviation science professor said "I'm keeping binoculars in my brief case now, so whoever buzzed the campus and flew next to the water tower yesterday better not try that again." Hmmm, wonder who that was?
