I am a pilot as well

 

I'm not a pilot, but my other half is. LOL

 

Did you ever take the 'Pinch Hitter' course? My co-pilot did and it made a positive difference in the overall comfort level aloft. She can handle a 6 speed and a road full of twisties pretty well too.

 

:cornut:Being as politically correct as I can be, what ever happened to ATP's being able to be proactive in the security of their air craft and passengers. Me, I was all for this even when the very thin spread Sky Marshalls could be aboard. What ever happens to the air craft and passengers, the Captain is 1st in line for civil/criminal charges.

I fly Citation Encores and Phenom 300s for a large fractional ownership company.

 

I use to fly I had a Cessna 120 that was murdered ( hit by a runaway plane and totaled ) and then had a part owner in a C 172. I dont fly anymore sure miss it.

 

I'm a pilot, but just not current.

My father is a MINI owner and Pilot. He has a Grumman Traveler that he flies regularly and is currently building a Van's RV-7.

 

:cornut: I forgot to mention that Sister Sandra is Past President of her chapter of The 99's. The original female pilots organisation of ,obviously, the 1st 99 female pilots including Amelia Earhardt, Pancho Barnes, and Jackie Cochran. Jackie Cochran was the 1st female to break the sound barrier(under the coaching of Chuck Yeager). I'd say that Sandra was 99 #2(in jest) but I'd get cracked over the head with a blunt instrument.:lol::lol::lol:
Interestingly when Sandra joined they had a printed logo of their own Flight Wings but no Pin On Wings to display on their Jackets. So I took the printed logo to a local Jeweler and he made up 2 wings badges in silver and I gave 99's Wings #1 to Sandra. Now the 99's have official pin on wings.

I've been a licensed pilot for several years. Normally fly a 172 or an Archer. Not current right now, but you never know when the urge will strike. Right now I enjoy piloting my 2012 JCW Coupe.

 

I'm not a pilot either, but a "beginner" skydiver.
Twelve static-line jumps, starting in 1978. Five IAD jumps, summer of 2011.
And FINALLY EXPERIENCING FREEFALL , two tandem jumps this past summer; followed by the AFF ground school.

I've been trying to sell the MINI to pay for the AFF course, but now the season is over for me.
Gotta get into it next Spring, for sure. At 59 years of age, I can't put it off much longer; I'd like to earn my "A" license before I get old! :biggrin5:

 

"If you want to fly, get out of the plane" is a slogan that I've seen on skydivers' t-shirts, and it says it all.

 

I'm not a pilot (but I would like to be) I've flown a cessna 172 with a trainer I did everything but land the plane. Hopefully someday I'll have the funds to pay for training, because the one time I did fly was amazing.

Oh and skydiving is on my list of things to do sometime soon.

 

There was an expression, at Ft Bragg, used by us non-airborne types. "There are only two things that fall from the sky. Bird poop and fools" :lol:
