Any other AO Pilots?

[ntn4502]

Well besides Restola and myself, can anybody else get high without the use of weed? I couldnt be happier for changing my major to it, and evidently I couldnt be at a better school for it. If anyone was thinking about a career in this, I would highly recommend it

flying can be a major?

in 8th grade i wanted to become a pilot. dunno what happened, but now i'm completely lost as to what i wanna do. i've always been intrigued by flying though...

[Lopy]

I don't get high on weed, I get high on G-O-D

Its not required by any airline, but its a good excuse to do what we love.

The airlines want you to have a 4 year degree and all your ratings. A major in flight tech (thats what its called here) gives you a 4 year degree and all your ratings. You could just as easily major in buisness and fly on the side. But for most of us, we couldn't stand the thought of 4 (or more) years for hours a day sitting through power-point lectures with 200 other people.

Instead we take the LERs, and then classes about aircraft, propulsion, hydrolics, and other interesting stuff. All small classes, with students who also love this field. Oh yeah, and you get to fly every day (when you're enrolled in a flight class anyways, which you are most semesters).

Flight is a blast, and there's nothing else like it.

Well, I dont. But I have a teammate who does, and I believe his father also owns a small airport type thing...

are you still in flight school? if so, what do you plan on doing afteR? if not, what are you doing now? this might be just what i need cuz i don't see any college majors that are really piquing my interest...i don't know of any flight schools around here though..:-/

There are a few things I really wanna learn to do at some point in my life, Flying is one of them...

[Gunga]

I've got my Instrument-SEL rating. Haven't flown in several years, unfortunately.

Unless you count diving...that's sort of like flying underwater.

[beam]

I'm kinda like Gunga...haven't flown in a few years.

I have:
Private SEL
Commercial SEL
Instrument
CFI
CFII
and some multi time (but paying $3/minute wasn't worth it at the time)

I went to school at the University of North Dakota. THE premier flight school in the world. (sorry Restola )

After graduating, I was a flight instructor for them before deciding that I wanted to take a different career path.

Flying is awesome. I miss it dearly. I do hope to get to a point in my life where I can fly recreationally more often, maybe even own my own plane.

My dad's a pilot.. and we own.. part of a plane heh. It's fun.. we'll use it for going on long trips, like to NY. Saves so much time, I love it.

[Caffiend]

I can legally run engines on a C-130, but I prefer to stay on the ground. I'm sure I could fly it, the whole landing thing would mess me up tho

[Torbo]

my dad has a commercial license, never uses it though, just private/instrument. We are in a club. I was gonna go through to get my license, but i find i dont and wont have the money.

[logamus]

i started on my private and ran out of cash. im sure im not alone in that catagory.

[RRfireblade]

Working on it,little by little.

Not for any profession,just for fun.

Mostly flying a 6cyl Bonanza,great little plane.Very little.

Not in any rush to get in my hours so when I get there,I get there.

It's a REALLY fun!

Jay.
