Cool, how much is it costing you? I was training to be an AME before. Worked alot on Piper Navajos, Piper Chyannes, Piper aztec ( if your going to get your multiengine) best plane to do it on. So im guessing your just getting your VFR right now, do you plan on getting your IFR later on? Ohh i would like an invite btw.

I can land a 737 1/3 times...  I went to the united simulators at old Stapleton once.  Those simulators are pretty sick.  They are like 20 feet of the ground and move all around and shit.  Its just like flying a real plane, not that I would know I guess.  But ya if the pilots die put me at the controls and you got a 33% chance.

same here. ive been looking at coast guard, navy, army, and air force and they all require a degree in something i dont want (which involves a shit load of math and science) and then you have to hope you get accepted. so i dont think itll ever happen for me

Jason is ill, he flies the planes for sure. My grampa has a plane and I flew it once for probably 10 minutes while we were in the air, it was pretty neat.

thats cool. I took ground school in like fifth grade but obviously i was too young to get the liscense. I never followed through with any of it and its killin me. I fly all around the ABC islands on floats with my dads friend but I really gotta get back to the ground and finish the work.
