I’m a boomer, as well as a non-paying member so I’m unable to post pics… and I’m not a pilot either!
But I have a good friend who owns a Piper Cherokee 180 that I have flown in, and taken the controls many times. … does that count? |

I solo'd in this thing a number of times 20+ years ago. Never did get my license. Ran out of money and time. Unfortunately it crashed in 2018 killing the pilot and two passengers. |

Quoted: Large Cargo Freighter LCF better known as the DreamLifter. Well, this jet only goes to about 8 destinations and is CAT II auto land capable so, no, not too many issues.

Quoted: What is max load weight for this one? View Quote The jet’s maximum takeoff weight is only 800,000 lbs due to the highly modified fuselage. It is more about carrying bulk not weight. We carry the wings and fuselage sections of the 787 DreamLiner to Charleston, S.C. for final assembly at the Boeing factory. It’s the largest flying cargo volume in the world. |

No pics. Mine was a Cox P40 Warhawk, that I was too young to be flying. Needless to say, I flew it straight into the ground. Later in life I flew many in Microsoft flight simulator. Again, things did not go well. I found out that I was better off taking photos at airshows. ?? Attached File

Where's our resident F-117 guy? Between him and theblaze I think they've covered the cool guy pilot category.

Don't know what happened to those aircraft though. Probably, ultimately, they were sold to a Hollywood film producer or something like that. |
