Any Pilots?

[wjdevans]

Just curious how many other members like to spend your free time burning 100LL and soaring with the birds.

I started on my pilots license years ago but only got so far as soloing. It got to be too expensive on my meager earnings back then and I stopped. Been missing it ever since.

I love to fly....get it from my mom I suppose. Dad always talked about her being a test pilot for a broom factory.

Not current, but I am a licensed pilot. Soloed in a (then) 50 year-old Taylorcraft, having sought out such a craft and an equally crusty old instructor to teach me.

Would love to fly with you. I'm
Not current but would enjoy having a flight club for masons. The closest airport for me is Lonestar Executive (KCXO) as I'm on Lake Conroe. Where are you? Come for a $100.00 hamburger and brotherly love! I would to add more time to my log I've got about 35.7 hours.

Let me know. I know the Shrine has a flight group but not sure where they are based.

I've done a couple flights with my brother back when he was flight instructing (He's a commercial pilot now - Challenger 300). My dad's a retired Air Force pilot (and later commercial pilot - F-111 and various Bombardier commercial jets). Absolutely love flying in all its forms; wish I'd been able to keep taking lessons and gotten my license already, but I definitely will someday.

I'm an active flight instructor. I've been instructing for ten years. Time flies when your having fun!

Money makes an airplane fly. And lots of it!

I'm in Hallettsville (34R). I've had my ticket for about a year, but haven't logged as much time as I would like since then. I have a 1977 172 XP. It is a joy to fly with 195 hp fuel injected 6 cylinder and CS prop.

Would love to hop over to Conroe when summer schedule calms down (3 young kiddos to keep occupied).

Plane is going in for annual in a few weeks. Maybe head over after that.

Well, all of this talk a while back about flying got me to thinking. I am now enrolled in an associate's degree program that will get me my private pilot ticket, commercial, and instrument. Working on finishing up ground school right now. Come January though I will finally be back in the air after a 17 year hiatus. I am really excited to get to it too.

Great! The commercial is most people's favorite. Enjoy!

I'm really looking forward to getting started. First flight in a really long time will be next week.

That's great brother. I'm fortunate to be able to fly every weekend giving instruction. It'll rekindle the flame for sure.

I know it will. It has just been there smoldering all these years. Eventually want to do the CFI thing later on.

Well Brothers, in two years if anybody needs work on their airplanes look me up! I am going to TCC for my associates degree in Airframe maintnance and Avionics. I LOVE aviation and I also will have my Pilots licence someday.

Good luck. I thought about the A&P route too.
