the BBs is kindda boring lately .. too much trolling and whining ..

SO !

another POLL (don't cha just love them ??)

here it goes:

I have a PPL / ME / Glider rating and i'm working on my CPL / IFR right now

I fly Gliders for aerobatics (about 20 different types including a LO100)

I do glider towing with a Pa18 Super Cub and a Robin Remorquer DR400, first i did it to get hours and now because it's fun and it gives you a goal for your flying .. not just the 60$ Coffee 1 hour to the next field kindda flying (which would be 200$ here anyways)

Got roughly 450 hours total time and about 2300 flights

now you !

All I've had is an hour lesson.... actually the first time I had ever been up in the air and I was so pleased that my instructor let me do everything first time round!!

A wonderful feeling!

Seriously, I'd love to learn but it's all down to money! Hey, anyone in UK want a passenger??

I grew up around airplanes, my dad flew them in the interior of Brasil. Have a lot of hours there.

I accumulated about 15 hours of instruction in 152's and an Aeronca Champ but never solo'd. Chose to have a family instead of a ticket, couldn't (and still can't) afford both so I fly my puter instead

I learned in Gliders at the Yorkshire Gliding Club - Trained in Blanik and K21 then soloed in K8, Astir and another higher performance one I can't remember.

Did my PPL in the States in the usual 150 / 152 and got about 100hrs in - Eastern North Carolina has to be the easiest place to learn - just beautiful and very quiet.

Flown an Airship for about an hour (used to be a ground eng ) and jump seated Concorde (brother is pilot

)

Moved back to England 10 years ago and haven't flown since - toooooo expensive - now AH fills the gap.

When I was 15, I washed and waxed planes at a small airport for flight time. Soloed on my 16th birthday (flunked my drivers test that day) and had my private ticket on my 17th birthday.

I have logged about 450+ hours in single engine, 25 hours in light twins and 8 hour in hot air balloon.

Now, I get paid to hang around the airport.

Guess i'm a professional airport bum.

400 plus hrs. in many different Cessna's. I own a '68 172I (factory float kit installed)with a 220hp Franklin and constant speed seaplane prop. In winter on wheels, summer Edo 2440 floats.

When I used to work on small a/c, I got to fly 207's, 208 Caravan on wheels and amphip floats (got some of my float instruction in a 208 on amphips), DHC-2 Turbo Beaver (Alaska Magnum conversion) on amphip floats, but only got to taxi our DHC-6 Twin Otters. Of course I got my training in 150's and 152's. No tail dragger time yet tho.
