You all may not believe it, but Clubber has been taking flying lessons the past few months. Been goin' up with the flight instructor about twice a week. I'm trying to get to the point where I can solo (fly by myself), but I still won't be able to carry passengers (other than certified pilots) until I get my actual license.:)
mr money bags.;D
you're going for a PPL?

It's not cheap to build up your hours.
I looked in to it a while ago & choppers, cool manuals from the library. :)
Maybe I'm on some terrorist watch list now:-\
I hear that things aren't looking good for aviation these days. :-\
Based on the news that Clubber is now in the air I would agree ;DQuote:

Damn right. $90 an hour to rent the airplane plus $40 an hour for the instructor, and there are plenty of other places that are higher than that. :-\Quote:

That's rough, Florida had good rates before, although I don't know about now. I hear that the insurance, and av-gas that are becoming a pain in the ass.Quote:

Uh yes he did abuse me; well not like physically or anything:headscratch: He just liked to turn off the engine and do 0-G's or do rolls and cackle th e whole time. I was 12 the last time I went up with him; f#ck my dad he's crazy. I was ruined after that and blame all my aanti-social and violent tendencies on that one day in the sky; so yeah :LOLATYOU: on me.......
And a big :fyou:to him and you Bagel Nagel....;D
But seriously my sister loved it and got her pilot's license; but then again she's a stupid cunny anyways:tease-new:
:lol: Now you can thank your dad for making you the man that you are today. By the way, I didn't know that a cessna could do rolls, I thought it'd need an inverted fuel system for that.
Did you get your junior wings after that? :biggrin:

I remember cause'I was trying to scream but the force was making it hard; also I remember clearly with lack of gravity that there were dead yellowjacket wasps floating up from the little air vents and hovering in front of my face. This was 25 years ago but the last time I ever went up with him; no joke. I do remember a funny story though. Before we moved to Texas we lived near Palo Alto California; where hekept his plane Suzie:rolleyes: My sister and I were small so we would get in the little area behind the seats, and my mom would sit up front with him as she liked to fly. Anyways my cunt sister lit a match and told me to hold it. My mom smelled smoke and freaked and and Julie told my mom I was lighting stuff on fire:furious2: I swear that was the worst ass beating I ever got when when we landed. Didn't matter I told her Julie was lying; I was cryng as usual because I knew the pants were coming down and the leather belt was coming out:furious2:
Anyways I'l see if my mom has any pics of Suie; she is OLD. My dad also flies his ultralight that he built up in Colorado. Him and his crazy mom flew it down to Texas one summer:lolhaha:
Me, I fly a Gyro-Copter
Serious ? Why? :smilie_whisper: they glide like a brick dont they?Quote:

There's a Cessna 150/152 Aerobat, it has a somewhat stronger airframe than the regular 152's that allows you to do stunts.Quote:

I hope that things look up for aviation. I went by one of the local airports last 4th of July and the place was practically desolate in contrast to the bustling airport that it was a few years back.
