    Great news! Congrats!

    Make sure you get a plane to test those skills. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    I really hope to get educated in flying, someday. I'd love to even have a single-engine license and a plane to fly around.

    That'll come someday. Flying is in my genes. Everyone on my mother's side of the family was, is, or will be a pilot.

    Personally, (not that anyone asked) [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img] I would rather hop into a stock car and take a ride around Daytona or maybe Texas Motor Speedway. I love to race, Nascar Racing 4/2002 have been keeping me busy while waiting for anything B5 to hit the streets...Some useless personal information...anyone keeping track of this stuff??

  • Thanks everyone!

    Classes are starting up again, and next I'm workin on my instructor rating. The thought of me teaching people how to fly scares me (and it should scare you too [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]) lol

    And Biggles, years down the road when I have a job with the airlines, I'll try to get you in for free, hell, I might even be able to get you in the jump seat in the cockpit...

    Damn Shadow Boxer... thats a nice plane. Looks like she'd be a helluva lot of fun to fly!

    Good luck on your training, ZocaloHobo. Nothin wrong with takin your time [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img] Its not exactly a cheap profession... lol

    Sanfam, do they fly commercially? Or do they fly for the military?

    Canuck: Both. :-)

    My grandfather flew for both the military and for American Airlines. He *LOVED* his 707, and even had a plan to deal with terrorists: Flash the fasten seatbelts sign, then do a triple barrel role. The plane was quite capable of this, so as long as the passengers were buckled in... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img]

    On a related note, one of my neighbors was the pilot of one of the first 747s to be hijacked. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img]

    We've heard lots of fun stories from that, including the braindead requests made by the hijackers. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    My uncle used to fly 747s, but now he is operating the 777 Simulator at the American AIrlines training center.

    Another uncle also flew for American, and I believe he prefered the 737 above all.
