Commercial Multi-engine Instrument rated pilot here...

Also employed as an aircraft dispatcher.

Got way too expensive to rent planes anymore so I took the money I used to spend on flying and bought a corvette!

Wow, I didn't think there would be this many pilots! Fat cars and airplanes definately go hand in hand. I can't wait for Oshkosh AND NOW Bloomington Gold! Hoping to have a good summer despite these rediculous gas prices.

Back in the "old" days, nearly all kerosene burners used water injection. It was quite a sight, especially during an ORI with four B-47s on the runway at the same time, all full-throttle, and all using rocket-assisted TO. The smoke and thunder was awesome! A sight never to be seen again. Here's my first attempt at adding a pic in my message, hope it turns out.

Commercial, Multi, Instrument, Low Altitude Waiver.

Took this pic flying down the Potomac a few years back. Neat 5 sided building. I'm sure they'd shoot me down nowdays.

Private, single engine, since 94. Haven't flown much lately. Most of my flying in Texas and California in 172s. I liked navigating more than actually flying. Navigation is to Flying as Road Courses are to Drag racing.

Owned and flew a 76 C-177B for 18 years. Just have a private with an instrument rating. One of my best friends bought a Bell 206BII and he is on me to get my helicopter rating. Maybe....
