Professionally (and I use that word loosely) I am an aicraft dispatcher, overseeing a fleet of 737-200 cargo planes in Alaska. I'm also a pilot but the flying bug escaped when the price of a rental plane passed $150/hour! I quit flying for a year and bought a Z06 with that savings. Heh. It was worth it!
cost is unreal. Got my ticlet it was 14.00 hour dry and 17.50 wet at the base aero club. Wife told me to update my med and start flying again. It is too cost prohibitive.
I'll stick to the Vette

Default Thanks folks!

I also love to fly RC airplanes and by the way, I have three daughters that love to fly as well! Here is a pic of my middle daughter flying our KingAir at about 26000 feet. She never wants to turn on the autopilot. She can hold altitiude and headings really well!





HEre is a photo from 49000 feet, it is beautiful up there. In the middle of the day it is dark above.

Retired heavy iron pilot (KC-135). 21 Years in the US Air Force (126 Vietnam missions). Second retirement was from a well known pharmaceutical company in Connecticut, and third (and final) retirement was from County School Board here in Florida. Three retirements tells you I'm no longer a young man. Still fly a small Cherokee Warrior III for fun, ride my Harley (FLSTCI) and drive my vette.
