Any pilots around here, I am newbie
 

Hi to all I am new in all this, I like flying so here is refreshing thread: are there any pilots around here; what do you fly; how much expiriance do you have?


I am paraglider pilot for about year. Great thing, you can fly like bird with the birds.

Would like to hear others expiriances.

i think you're lost

you think?

Hi,

we have many brain surgeons around here, but not that many pilots...

he he he

hey, welcome aboard!

Hi there, welcome to the board :)

welcome, but i think you got the wrong forum....

Welcome, I believe Gilespie is a pilot. Why dont you ask him...

Student pilot here. Cessna 172s and Piper Archers, mainly.

Welcome aboard captain!

and lets not forget that a lot of armchair lawyers hang out on here too....

i fly... piper cherokee....

I use to fly till it got too fucking expensive! Started in 1963 in Cessna 150. Then stopped after 15 hours or so. Took it up again in 1974 in Piper Cherokees. Got private license and moved on to Piper Arrow complex. Really liked flying. Just too expensive now. Have about 300 hours total time. I intorduced three brothers to it and all three got so hooked they all got their Commercial CFI Instrument Ratings and Certs. I think all of them have over 20 thousand hours now. One is retired L.A.P.D. the other is in sales, and the youngest works Air Traffic Control out in Palmdale, Calif.

Multi Engine-Commercial pilot-Instrument rating-Tail wheel certificate,Crop dusting experience, 800hrs...then i got married.

i only own the ms flight simulator :-(

I'm a private pilot, just over 120 hours on small single props, like C152s, 172s, 182s, PA38s, etc. Welcome to GFY, captain!

welcome :)

Welcome. GFY!

Welcome on board.

Welcome to the board, skipper

I grew up flying with my Dad, who's a CFI/II. He and my Uncle had planes or access to them all my childhood. A Bee Gee (my favorite), King Air 350, 152, 172s and 192, Piper Cub, etc.

They both did a lot of aerobatics too, so I get pretty pumped whenever the airliner gets some rough air.

I never got a ticket, but I can fly pretty much anything with a prop.

For those who are bored, want to try...

Flight Simulator X was also released recently. However, it's only good for the visual experience. If you're looking for extremely real flight dynamics, go with X Plane.

Ive got 2000+ hours ATP/MEI. Current favorite to fly is the L39. On the waiting list for the diamond twinstar.

Welcome to GFY :)

I love that pig!

Welcome and good luck on your flying lesson.

That diamond twinstar is hot.

Hi! Welcome.
I was going to name my cat Pumba... Instead named him Joseppe.

welcome to gfy!
have fun

I've been away for soooome time. Sorry not to replay. Great to hear from you pilots (and the rest of you). There are more pilots then I thought around here.
I had some nice flights few days ago. I hope that you pilots had some good flying. It is nice when you make your dreams real.
Btw, my parot is named Pumba and he sometimes make mass like he is a pig:)

im almost at 100 hours Movin on up! :)

Wth are u flying?

Piper all the way during holiday down in Florida :)

Who da fuck rents a car anyway to go from Miami to key west

I have been interested in getting a pilots license for a long time.

I was checking the rates it would cost to get one and was surprised at how relatively cheap it is.

welcome, dude:winkwink:

I flew the Pipe Warrior for a 30min once, offcourse with friend instructor looking every move I make.

Well, it shurly it isn't cheap for my budget. Paragliding is so much easier an cheaper. The laws are not so rigid. You can go and fly from almost any hill you like.As long you don't fly over airfeld. It is nice to wake in the morning, take your wing walk to the top of the hill, spread your wing like bird and fly away.

Welcome to the board matey :)
