Private/commercial/CFI/ATP Pilot survey of Aces High players:

[Citabria]

curious how many AH nutts have ratings?
how many have paid flight positions?
---------------------------------------


I'll start:
I have the commercial single and multiengine land instrument airplane ticket.
I do not have a job flying yet.
next goal is getting my Certified flight instructor rating.

[tshred]

Single engine land and sea. Own a '68 172 with 215hp Franklin, constant speed seaplane prop and Edo 2440's. I fly for fun.

Never finished my instrument, but would like to get my multi-engine/commercial/instrument land and sea in a Twin Bee someday all in one shot. When I have a month to burn and lot's 'o money hehe.


Good luck getting your instructor ticket!

In my squad;

Knfe (our CO) is a retired F-15 driver.  Now flies 737s.  And for fun AT-6s and little bipes.

Qgun flies Helicotpers for the Army reserve.

Break (our old beloved CO, may he rest in peace) flew light planes for fish & game.  He also owned several warbirds and a little bipe.

Wabbit used to own 1/2 an AT-6 untill his partner totaled it.

Jarbo and Sabre fly satalites.

Camel flies RC

I fell out of a tree once.

[Creamo]

I made soup in the microwave. Twice.

Got the Commercial ATP button thingy down.

They got soup in there? That'd be cool.

[CyranoAH]

Private Pilot here, VFR only, Land and Sea, I fly for fun, mostly Robin 200 (two seater-single fixed prop) and Cessna 172.

Now working on aerobatics in a CAP 10.

Would like to do multi and instrumental, but it's SO DAMN expensive over here.

[Duckwing6]

Comercial multiengine, land, IFR, CFI, glider, aerobatic  

i've been flying glider tugs for ages to build hours (and for the fun of it.. man i love landing) got to fly a lot of different planes like Robin Remorquers and Super Cubs,

now i'm dropping skydivers out of a Shorts SC7 Skyvan and a Cessna 206 Soloy Turbine conversion for a living.

Cheers

I have a:

ATP (issued 1981)
CFII (issued 1979)  

If you want to make flying a career, I suggest going to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University(1979 grad).  Just about all my pals from ERAU are now captains for major airlines.

Lost medical due to diabetes(type 1) in 1982.  (still bumming about that)
I could still teach flying, but cannot act as pilot in command.

[skernsk]

I jumped out of plane and got a cool "Diploma" for my wall.

Two members of my family for fly Air Canada.

[Westy MOL]

I've flapped my arms before. Taxi mode only. I've never got tower clearance yet for an actual legs-up airborne flight.

[Ripsnort]

Over 50 hours in private aircraft, none of it licensed though.

[moose]

Took 5 hours of private lessons before running out of money.

[aac]

I also have wings, they pounded them into my chest when I won them if you know what I mean GUNG HO, GUNG HO, GUNG HO, RANGERS ALL THE WAY.

[-lynx-]

PPL(A) Microlights with 50 hours P1. Own a share in CT2000. I'm doing a PPL(A) course right now on a PA28 and thinking about building hours to start AFI course.

Duck - how does one start in glider towing? To get to any FI rating you need hours and CPL  but building hours to get a CPL is a squeak costwise (200 hours at £100/hour + tuition & exams... Hmmm.... I'll buy a brand new Europa for this kind of money )...

[BD]

Private Pilot, 350 hrs Gliders, 100 hrs power, (8 hrs King Air Dual)

Flown a Glider over 36,000 feet

Took off and later landed at Atlanta Hartsfield once...

[Ozark]

1974 - 16th birthday - soloed; Flunked drivers test the same day.
1975 - 17th birthday - Private ticket.

Still flying, (when I have the extra cash)
