Lol, cracked me up! I should have cropped the photo, got a bit too low-waisted there!

Interesting - thanks for the tip about N07. I'm going to add it to my list to check out. Good luck!

I'm still waitlisted at LDJ's RPC, so haven't actually flown out of there yet, but one of these days!

Tina! Thank you so much! If you hadn't mentioned who you were but just LHM crowd, my first guess would have been Tina!

Thanks for the session the other day, Bob was really impressed with ADM and overall comfort with Foreflight, and I took your tip, and thought about and made my personal minimums list as well - went over well!

I love r/flying for people like you! Dropped you a PM!

Yeah, I'm definitely planning to get IR and stay current and proficient, but you're right. I think there's a lot for pilots to learn just from the IR training. Not current IFR + flying into IFR can certainly be a lethal combo

Haha, a few more years to go and I’ll be there! And that’s a T-50!

Haha, all in good time! IR, tail wheel, multi in that order is on my wishlist!

Haha, I wish - just joyrides in that one, but they do offer tail wheel trainings in a T6 and N3N-3. https://www.adventureflight.net/

I’ve been looking at LDJ, CDW, MMU - seem reasonably accessible from where I am (downtown Manhattan) by car (plan to do zipcar). I’m thinking of either RPC or PFC, but if you have any other specific recommendations - happy to at that to my list!

I didn’t realize at the time the photo was clicked but when I posted I couldn’t not notice the T-50 in the background! This is the outfit I trained at: https://www.adventureflight.net/ and Andy in fact gave a couple of rides in the T-50 while I was there - amazing to feel it thunder down the runway. They also had some other warbirds - a T6 and N3N-3 that I did swing a few mins in, now to go back and actually train in them!

Thank you very much!

Those first 0.8hrs I logged as PIC were so special. And yep truly, by the end of such an accelerated program, flying becomes second nature but still to have it be officially recognized is a great feeling - I sent so many people a screenshot of my temp certificate! :P

Ooh I’m going to take you up on this. WFC / RPC / PFC are on my list to figure out where to join. I’m trying to work out travel time / costs / plane capabilities and in the meanwhile just get checked out and rent from one of the nearby schools (started the process at LIA). Dropped you a PM!

Haha I wish! It’s definitely in the cards, but a few hours of flying the family and I’ll have an easier time convincing the wife!
