    Any Pilots in here?

    Well I just hit 1000 hours this morning on a nice trip from Vancouver -> Victoria.

    Anyone else fly?

      mid 20's ;)
      Yeah I fly quite a bit, only as a hobby though.. I once had a job flying commuters from whistler-> Vancouver in a King Air

      Racked up quite a bit of hours doing that ;)

      I'm going to be getting my float rating in September.

                My friend is. He has a shit load of hours. I give you guys mad props for doing what you do. I go co-pilot with him and it's pretty crazy on what you guys go through. Sitting in the back of a regular airliner you have no clue on whats really going on in those thunder storms. But he made me respect pilots a lot more. Congrats on your hours.

                  thanks man ;)
                  it's really fun to scare the shit out of people as well.. doing spirals in a 172 and your passenger is scared of flying = priceless

                  yes im a prick

                              I never got the ticket, but I can fly pretty much anything up to turbo props. My old man was a CFI-II and I grew up flying with him. We had a Pitts, a couple cessnas, a cherokee and my uncle had a King Air 350. I've probably got a few hundred hours flying, but none on any books and no license.

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                  I've always wanted to fly...

                                  I've always wanted to fly but the best I can do so far is flight simulation. I don't have the money, or frankly the time, to go though flying lessons. Well, if I had the money, I'd make the time, but it's on my life's TO-DO list.

                                  As far as flight simulation, you can get hooked up with Microsoft Flight Simulator (or X-Plane) and then see VATSIM for flying online with real-time traffic control. Lots of commercial pilots (and home enthusiasts too) on there, so it makes the flying both realistic and good for n00bs to get into it too. There are also virtual airlines that you can fly for too. IE: American Flight Airways. It's certainly fun, and the hobby can be as cheap as buying MSFS (since VATSIM is all free utils to run) or buying a whole bunch of outboard equipment (not only joysticks, but also outboard mounted gauges, fully modeled aircraft and satellite photo scenery). Lots of resources out there.

                                  Safe skies!

                                      From what i read in pilot's magazines, it seems more like 10-15k...

                                        if you go to a fancy "academy" that promises you a job after blah blah blah

                                        for your simple PPL and mountain rating+night rating it's about 5K for everything
                                        4K without the night rating,

                                        You also need a nice head set which is about $800 for a BOSE X which is what I recommend

                                          One of my business partners has his pilots license. He's only had one close call.

                                          I'm not a big fan of small planes. I like helicopters but had one get some engine trouble once and it dipped to the side suddenly and it started making this shaking fucked up sound. Luckily the pilot did some maneuvering and adjustments and it was a shaky on the ride down and the landing was rough but we got out fine.

                                            I've been wanting to get my PPL for quite some time now. (Years) When I had the money I didn't have the time and when I have the time I don't have the money! lol

                                            I think I may start this summer, at least get a intro flight at the local FBO. It's been a dream of mine since I was 15, but I forgot about it for a few years...

                                                  for your simple PPL and mountain rating+night rating it's about 5K for everything
                                                  4K without the night rating,

                                                  You also need a nice head set which is about $800 for a BOSE X which is what I recommend
                                                  Ahh.. that sounds much better. I would like to get IFR certified, too, but that can wait I'll have to go down to KSCK and see if they offer anything.
                                                  If you put instant coffee in the microwave, do you go back in time?

                                                    true, cheapest way to learn to fly is at a small country airport that rents cessna 150 series aircraft---national average for PP is about 60 hrs, so if you get a time-builder CFI you can probably get done for less than 5K.

                                                    BTW, there is no such thing as a "night" rating or "mountain" rating in PP.

                                                    also you can check into the new sport pilot certification which is even less expensive, but you are very limited in the type of plane you can fly.
