Pilots on the GB forum??

flat8

I fly single engine piston airplanes for pleasure out of a class D airport in Northern NJ. Any other pilots out there?

I haven't flown much in a long time & can no longer pass a medical.
My weight is a problem with both gliders & ultra-lites. The new sport pilot rating may make it possible to fly again.

MY dad just started tooling up to build a plane to fit in the sport rating class that they are supposedly working on. He used to fly in the 70's and gave it up because of not being able to support flying and a family. I think I want to get into it as well.

Shiver! Oak, walnut, cedar, poplar, elm, cherry why am I thinking about "woody" things?

I have flown a lot in ultralights and hang gliders.
I built a composite ultralight with a canard wing. That little plane was a joy to fly, open cockpit, no instruments, handled like a Porsche.

landjet

Commercial, multi-engine land, IFR. Never flown for hire though. Got all of the kudos I could at the time as the school I attended had a flight program. My HS (military boarding school) had a flight program too. Actually, I had my private ticket before I had a driver's license. Cadets were not allowed to have cars. Sort of funny on the holiday breaks - I could either fly myself home or take the bus. My medical has been expired for 5 years now. Hate to think what the rate is now even for a 152. It was $23/hr dual when I learned.
