Not me. Two of my brothers fly.

The baby flies Airbuses for Jet Blue. He's not real impressed with the joystick and misses his yoke.

Next younge to me is in 7-5s/7-6s for Delta. He started out with them in the third seat on 7-2s. In those days he would fly his 174 to work (BNA to ATL). When he moved up to take a window seat he gave up flyin' the Cessna. Wasn't afraid of doing something dumb in the big plane, but decided he didn't know h9ow much he could stand of having his heart lift up to someplace between his ears in the Cessna when he looked down and saw 60 knots for airspeed.

Private Single-engine Land. Haven't flown in years, but I'm building an airplane so I guess I'd better get current.

Private Pilot. Single engine land based aircraft, Instrument rated, and my high preformance endorsement in a Mooney M201J. Have not flown since Regan was president. My next biannual flight review would indeed be an biannual fright review.

Buickanddeere,

Some sort of license??.. um well

Does flying by one's seat of ones' pantz count as a license? not that I want one though...

I have owned three ultralights (fixed wing aircrafts, and three axis controled)

I can take off, and fly, but landing that is another story, hence why I have owned three of em...

(Last one my buddie landed)

Not ever have gotten hurt, but have somersalted,rolled and flipped...

Sure was fun when I was younger (thirty something) and the cost was very cheap, nowadayz it is almost outraegeous, along with most everything these days

I got my private license for single engine land in 1985. Flew for the sheer fun of it on Sunday afternoons for a few years. Costs to much to rent and fly now. Darn !

Here in the colonies, while commonly called a "license" by lay people, the correct terminology is "certificate" I started out with an FAA commercial certificate. Never had a private. Learned to fly in the US Military which is considered by FAA to be the equivalent of a civilian commercial course although I did have to go to an FAA district office and take a 50 question test on FAA regulations. Walked out of the office with a commercial certificate with instrument rating and two "type ratings" which are given for aircraft that weigh more than 12,500 lbs. Acquired a lot of ratings afterward, multi-engine airplane, Instructor, Airline Transport Rating, etc. I've never flown airships or gliders although I towed hundreds of gliders in the military.

You're close but no cigar. I flew with a lot of guys who flew those things though. One guy I used to fly with bought a WWI Jenny and patched it up and learned to fly off his dad's farm in Ohio. Retired about 50 years later as a 747 Captain. Couple of other guys I flew with learned to fly helicopters at the Sikorsky plant with Igor Sikorsky as their instructor.

I'll mark 49 years of continuous flying on 20 Oct. Plan to fly for a living for one more year and then hang it up although I'll still fly for fun mostly with my son. He soloed in a Piper Cub on a grass strip when he was 16.

Hey MF. Are you the guy who bought the new Massey Ferg tractor that was featured in the MF magazine? I think it was in the last issue or the one before. Reason I ask is the guy was a retired airline pilot.

Heck, at one point who else were you going to learn from? :wink:

My father worked at Sikorsky's for a bunch of years. He remembers seeing Igor touring the plant at times.

Some of the guys he worked with had badge IDs in the single digits. Pretty cool stuff.

Hey Bill, no, but I would like a new MF tractor;-) Seems like the ones fortunate enough to get a retirement are some of the few that can afford a new one.

My father did, for awhile, owned a Cessna 172, during the 80's, not sure if he ever got his IFR rating, he 1st learned in the 60's, then got back into it in the 80's, can be an expensive habit, recall what refueling was then and service bills from Paige Aviation, also the stack of books he had while learning, solo'ing the 2nd time where the instructor wrote on his shirt and cut out the piece with the writing, photo of the Cessna and the piece of shirt was framed and used to hang on the wall.
