All you need to know about me + some things you didn't want to know.

Unfortunately I was a month away from flying lessons 6 years ago..................then I got engaged and the money was tight!  :( Saving for the wedding was allot! Then came the house, then came my daughter, now my 2nd is due in May..............
The closest I can come is the $50 "affordable" Sim!  
One day I will get my wings. I didn't realize how much I loved flight until later in my life. I congratulate allot of you young guys for following your dream and hope that it comes true.  Good luck to all of you who are are pursuing a career in the aviation industry!

For me right now it's diapers, a mortgage and a bottle of scotch in the garage!  ;D

Hey Fly2e, you can still do it.  The progam I'm in has plenty of guys over 40 getting their commercial degree to become bush pilots.

I've had about 10 hours in light aircraft and 11 parachute jumps. I plan on getting a Meng in Aero engineering and then entering the RAF, hopefully to fly the EFA or JSF.

What's a Meng?

Im at Embry Riddle of Prescott AZ, as of now I am a private pilot, in another few months I will have the endorsement for multi engine , when I graduate, I'll have all the good stuff (ratings, except ATP) and after college Im looking at flying for Coast Guard.

I was within inches of being talked into going to Embry instead of U.A.A.........ahh the power of hot chick classmates.
Sorry to hear you guys are getting shafted, being stuck with the Diamond's and all.

Meng: Masters degree engineering  8)
Beng: Bachelors degree engineering  8)

Ahh, thank you. Mine are BT's (Bachelor of Technology).

 The only bush I will be seeing are the ones in my backyard that need pruning!  :P Eventually when the work on my house is complete, and the kids are off to school, and my wife has taken out a large life insurance policy,...I will be getting into some type of aircraft....I just hope it has a handicap ramp!  ;D

Oh come on, there are plenty of old fogies flying.  Look at Bob Hoover for example.
