So do you own or rent an Airplane? What is it?
My whole family was/is pilots. Dad flew C47's in the war then for TWA, ended up as company pilot for Sam Johnson of Johnson's Wax, and retired selling used airliners for Alan Paulson of Gulfstream American. I worked on the DC9's that brought the POW's back from Hanoi while in the AF, and learned to fly on a Cessna 140 after. Haven't flown anything since, but if you learn on a tail dragger you can fly anything. Youngest Bro is Captain/Check Pilot for Etihad out of Abu Dahbi.
Aviation is a small world. My dad knew everybody after the war.
Sorry to Hijack this thread but we should always have time to talk airplanes or guns or dogs.
