Hey All,
Back to Aviation after many years away. Started flying in '98 after a great ride in an F-16D (was a Jet Mech in the Air Force, earned an Incentive Flight). Earned my Private/Instrument/Commercial Fixed (w/ High Perf/Complex/Tailwheel) then started Rotorcraft. Joined the CHP in '04 and everything went on hold. Flew occasionally, mostly Aerobatic, but as the fam grew the hours shrank. Recently retired after a solid 17 years as a Chippie. Turned 50 & ripped that cord.
:)
Saved a bunch of excess leave and cashed it out. Getting back in the cockpit is my retirement/Big 50 gift to myself. Since the lifelong dream of being Maverick's Wingman prolly wont pan out, I'm gonna settle for slightly older Warbirds, Aerobatics and....stuff. I'd actually like to start using my Commercial to earn a buck or two. Not interested in airlines. Banner tow/ Biplane tours and any kind of Warbird ops would suit me just fine. Fun stuff.
:cool:
I've got time in an S-2B(loved it), Super D/Citabria (loved it), Super Cub(loved it) and Stearman(Super Loved it). Looking to build more Conventional Gear time. Flight Club near me (Plus One Flyers) has TWO Great Lakes Bipes that I'm really looking forward to learning. So much good stuff!
Anyhoo, Hello!

Me in '97. Dream Come True.
