Hooray!

Sure James, I've flown down to Wildwood on more than one occasion.  It's actually a bit longer if you avoid the class B, which is wise, but definitely not more than 45 minutes.  I'd love to take a quick flight down south again

I live up north. I ment to say, I've flown down to Millville before and it's taken about a half hour.

d'oh.

30 mins north of millville puts you in South Jersey Rgl/Flying W/Red Lion area, no?  I did my checkride out of flying W.

Hm, maybe not then. It probably just seemed quicker because I was having so much fun. (In the right seat, though. ) I live about 20-30 minutes north of Trenton by car, if that means anything.

[beefhole]

Aye, that's a lot more than 30 mins-from South Jersey Regl to Millville is about 30 mins (in a Cessna 172/piper equivalent).  You must've been having a LOT of fun

Taking a quick look at my New York sectional, looks like the closest airfield to you is Princeton (if not Trenton itself).  Ringing any bells?

A 36,000 hour pilot!  are you sure...

36000/24 = 1500 days= 4.1 years

thats a lot of flying!

Yup.  He's got 18,000 hours of agricultural/banner towing/sight seeing time and 18,000 jet time.  He's a pilot for Continental, one of the oldest employees.

I missed this. Belated congrats. Well done old chap.

[FLYING_TRUCKER]

Congratulations and well done.

So now you can go up and defy the Gods...all by your lonesome.... LOL...

That was not uncommon to find Captains with 36,000 hours at one time, especially war time pilots who went on to commercial flying.  
I have flown with a good many of them, my first encounter with a Chief Fying Instructor who was a retired Squadron Leader, close to 60 years old then had more flying hours flying backwards at night in all kinds of weather than most of us could only dream about.

Again well done and have fun.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Thanks Doug and Doug

Must have been really interesting to fly with those guys, Trucker.  I know when I went up with this guy I immediately got a sense of his total mastery over the aircraft.
