I work for United Airlines although not a pilot, I'm just a lowly Ramp Rat.
In the summer months I swap out the food and bev carts but when the cold weather sets in I'm the best damn deicer you've seen.I am working to get my rec. license. Hopefully in the next two years I will have enough money saved to buy a share in a Bonanza. I prefer the H35, Now thats a beautiful vintage bird. Searcher1 "Jim Frogge" wrote in message ...

Not a pilot but I did engineering and maintenance on boeing 727 and 737
commercial simulators and a couple of others for nearly 20 years so I've probably got a few thousand hours in them. :-) Best Regards, Keith Marshall "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." - Will Rogers (1879-1935).

Ken. Cost can be an issue. BIG one sometimes. I found I was not using the airplane enough to justify the tiedown, insurance, and the 'little' things needing fixed annually that added up to $$$. I have been thinking recently of getting back into flying again. This reminds me, I've been making parts and engraving panel overlays for a friend with a Glasair, and he owes me a ride. Hmm... Forget which model, cruises around 280 or so. MUST get together with him soon. michael |

Most of these projects are languishing because the owners can't commit the time and funds to get them airborne. Yet in this group we have hundreds of folks with the time to opine at length about .... exactly the skills needed to complete those planes. Do I gotta' draw you a map? :-) When I was building, I tried without success to find a partner to share the cost and the work. Of course once the time came for free rides, I had more *help* than I needed. ;-) Wayne Glasair RG |

Does that count? (I'm an Air Force brat who had to change his pants after finding out how expensive flying was.) Landing is the hard part. I was taught that the stall warning should be on forever to save the tires. A lot of times my dad would just point on the map follow that signal and then to that and that and tell me when your there , then kick the seat back and read a paper back. Or follow highways at night. One time the plane broke down and he rented a cream puff and within an hour all the electronics went out and we didn't even have a flash light. And no one at the airport to turn the landing lights on. He set it down at commercial airport close to home without a radio or lights. The crop duster pilots where just as nice to me. Like disconnect all the instruments and then a half hour later pull the throttle all the way back till I was about to set it down in a strange field with power lines on both ends. He said I lived when he pushed the throttle at about 20'. Right after that I had to talk him out of going under the causeway. I think it was me saying that we should have changed the numbers with duct tape before hand that convinced him not to do it. I was all for it , cept some busy body writing down the number. Maybe that's why the bridge broke , from the planes buzzing through it...  )On Wed, 25 Aug 2004 19:58:54 -0700, JR NORTH calmly ranted: Uh...I got 10 hours dual, does that count?

HOPEFULLY (and I think it is a really good bet, but that fighting goes on over in rec.aviation.homebuilt), the new Sport Pilot/ Light Sport Aircraft regulations will significantly reduce the costs of getting a license and keeping a plane in the air. |
