great B'day present.
Not a new boat, but a flight in an AT6 / Texan. Wife and kids surprised me
with this one. Not a clue. After 39+ years of marriage, is still fun. I get to pilot it also. http://www.americanwarbird.com/ |

I pretty much stopped flying because I was frankly getting too big to comfortably fit in the cockpit of a small plane like a Cessna. Plus, I was so out of shape that I began to doubt I would pass the required physical and was too embarrassed to find out. But, now that I've returned to "normal" size, exercise everyday and have lowered my blood pressure reading to well under 120/70, I realize I could easily pass the physical. So .... I think I'll go get re-qualified. Alpha One Flight School .... here I come. Eisboch |

My uncle worked on them. |

I remember my first airplane ride was in 1969 at an air show. i got to go up in a Stearman "Cloudboy" like this one: http://www.airbum.com/pireps/YPT93.jpg He bought it off a crop dusting company and was restoring it back to origional specs with some more "modern refinements" , he said the pilot gave me some ear plugs, and he gave me a motorcycle helmut with goggles, and thats about it. After being strapped in, and I DO mean strapped in, away we went. I dont' know how high we went or how long we were up, but it was the best $30.00 I believe I've spent yet. Enjoy yourself! |
