I see that a few of you are pilots...where are you at and what do you fly? This supports the Porsche addiction.

I flew a cessna plane a couple of years ago. It was a bday present from my girlfriend (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)
I liked it, but getting the license is expensive. :\ b |

Yea...expensive habit. I wanted to be a pilot or a Porsche mechanic...being a pilot I can afford the Porsche hobby being a mechanic I could not afford my flying hobby.

I am still trying to convince Betty that we can afford a plane. I want a Swift.
Low wing, 2 seat, underpowered with sports car like handling. Frequently converted with bigger engine. They have a rabid following. Kinda sounds like a flying 914.... :-D |

I have some time in a Cessna Sky Master, Grobe, and a ton of 737 sim. time I am a run taxi designee for mechanics at Southwest here in DAL. That is the best game in town. Have done the manditory loop, inverted flight, and snap roles. The last bunch I ran through one of the guys got sick from the motion. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) We normaly turn it off because it doesnt have a true feel driving around but we were going to fly it and I was showing them how to do some stuff. We took off and I did a roll over down town and the guy was looking out the window. I guess the sim moving and the video spining in front of him was just to much and he lost his lunch (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) We had to stop and get out for some fresh air (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)

Single Engine Land.
Cessna 152 Cessna 172 200 attempts to land the space shuttle simulator at NASA with 1 success. Actually there was a FedEx plane that went down at Mather here in Sacramento. I never did hear the investigation result but from the characteristics of the crash I would assume the load shifted. Rob |

about 50 hrs of 152 out of WHP;
about 10 hrs of 172 out of VNY. .7 in sailplane at Warner Springs, forgot the designation. maybe another .6 or so in a Cherokee at MYF. and a couple hundred hours of B-52 sim time, from when i was the systems engineer on an instructional features upgrade project on the Aerial Refueling Part-Task Trainer at Castle AFB, CA. now that i'm on the East Coast with about 6 solid VFR days a year i suspect I'll never finish off my PSEL... lived near MEV 8 years and never got the chance to finish off a sailplane rating - when i was working, there was no time, and when i had time, there was no money... |

(except blue w/ yellow trim.) Back in high school, I used to fly my uncles Mudry Cap10 (Frenchie aerobatics trainer, side by side tandem seating, fun and forgiving little plane). My freinds used to joke that I would have my pilots liscense before I had my regualr drivers liscense. When I was touring colleges, my uncle and I would fly over them before I ever tried a visit. I started learing spins over the chesapeak bay (up, down, turn a-round, and do it all over again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) ) I went to college and have not been up since. My uncle sold the Mudry, and by the time he bought his Extra I had too much other stuff going on to put the time in again. Zach |

Practicing my perpendicular parking Group: Members Posts: 4,277 Joined: 19-April 03 From: Los Osos, CA Member No.: 587 Region Association: Central California |
When I was 16 or 17 I did an introductory lesson dealie at Mclellan AFB (my dad worked there, and it was a b-day present)
I got to fly a Cessna 172, a Tomahawk, and a Warrior. The Cessna was ok, I didn't like the Tomahawk, and I loved the Warrior. My parents went up with me in the Warrior.. I think they were quite puckered. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I haven't flown since, but I did take the ground school class at Cal Poly. If I ever have large amounts of surplus money, I'll get an instrument license and build a kitplane. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I remember that crash at mather, I had heard that it was a load shift that did it. It crashed in a wrecking yard. |
