I have a fleet of over 100 RC planes and I'm registered with the FAA for another 3 years! Does that count?
 ETA the only plane I actually ever got to fly. R.I.P. you left way too fucking early!  Attached File |

Beech Sundowner N5102M. Owned her for 20 years and sold her last year. She was a good bird. Still had the original pain from 1978.
That's why she is grandfathered in before the big N Numbers were required on the fuselage.   Attached File |

Not gonna dig up pics... Beech Sundowner, Cessna 172, Cessna 152, Beech Skipper, V-tail Bonanza, Cherokee 6, Piper Cub, T-6 Texan, Beech Staggerwing. Some more after that. Nothing cool like choppers or jets, but the T-6 was a blast. Funny story was when we had 6 people plus the pilot and luggage in a Eurocopter helo over sketchy mountains in AK. I asked the pilot if he could hover outside of ground effect at that altitude. Most of the passengers pooped twinkies sideways when he put into a hover. That was cool. Edit: a glider as well. Can't remember what it was. Just a tow to a maybe 5k AGL. I obviously didn't land it, but it was fun. Did a few stalls and steep turns.

Quote HistoryQuoted: @chadjetlag Do y'all still have two planes at Gwinnett? I'll be out there this weekend in the EAA hanger while my daughter is taking a ham cram to earn her general license on Saturday and part of Sunday. Somehow I missed this post. That company bankrupted in 2007 (they were home builders). The little flight school outside the eaa hangars is where I was an instructor waaay back in the day. This weekend I am in Italy for our “big trip” that the company each year. How is the ham cram? I would like to do that |

I love it when I taxi by a former TW 757 in Delta paint and point out to the new people that AA just gave them away because of the (superior) PW engines. TC |

I did pretty good in the Maverick stuff on Flight Sim if that counts
Question for GA guys from someone hoping to start soon - am I an idiot for wanting a Piper Cherokee/Warrior over a Cessna 172? Is there any particular benefit to finding a school that has the specific plane you'd intend to end up with, or are they close enough that just getting in the air is the more important thing to do? |
