nice, thought about it as a career choice. my cousin is big into it and is going to Embry Riddle when he graduates from highschool to become a commercial pilot.

nice i've always wanted to be a pilot and hopefully someday i will get around to it. my uncle flys the guys that own Dart paper company around (they make plastic cups and plates and that stuff) i got to taxi to the other side of the airport and back in this plane and go through the whole pre flight and stuff. pretty cool. $45 million dollar plane.

its a Gulfstream G5

Always been a dream of mine ... hopefully I will one day. I want to fly float planes ..... stuff like DeHavilland Beavers and Twin Otters. I wouldn't mind getting into forest fire fighting actually.

I'm not a licensed pilot, but have flown a few times. got to take a buddies puddle jumper a couple times.
M a u l e M-5 Lunar Rocket w/STOL kit.
He took the 160hp w/65" fixed out...
and replaced it with a Lycoming 210hp w/81".

Set the brakes, set the flaps, and slam it to the wall,....
as soon as the tail wheel lifted, yank the flaps to full, and yank the colum to your crotch...
Damn thing would take off in 250' from a dead stop, and rotate at 44 degrees, and pull 2000 fpm !!! Freakin' WILD ride !!!
