GIM Pilot Rating/Skills Poll (GIM Air Force Roll Call) 2 Attachment(s) Check all ratings that apply (multiple choice - mil-pilots check equivalent). Me? P2 ultralight pilot/PT instructor, fixed wing and powered paraglider.

Re: GIM Pilot Rating/Skills Poll (GIM Air Force Roll Call) Underwater Space Cadet. Reporting for duty. Got my eyes on the ultra-light gig though.

Re: GIM Pilot Rating/Skills Poll (GIM Air Force Roll Call) Zero. Nada. Zilch. Too expensive of a hobby for someone like me.

Re: GIM Pilot Rating/Skills Poll (GIM Air Force Roll Call) Hoping to be a Preceptor N3 Pup pilot in the near future. Maybe I'm putting the carriage before the horse or whatever that saying is. :wink: MT Silver

Re: GIM Pilot Rating/Skills Poll (GIM Air Force Roll Call) The Pup I'm looking at is almost identical in the paint scheme. I guess most are, but I've seen some really different ones out there. I trying to smooth over the wife about buying one locally. Almost there, just a little more butt kissing. :D I'll definitely know by this weekend.

Re: GIM Pilot Rating/Skills Poll (GIM Air Force Roll Call) I live next to the airport. That's about as close as I'll probably ever get. I do love to watch the planes and helicopters fly over on landing approach. I'm one of those crazy people that has to run outside everytime I hear something different. I've always wanted to learn to fly but it's never been in the budget.

That's exactly why I took the ultralight route. $80/hour for a 30 year old, 15K, bucket of bolts Cessna 152??? SHEESH!!!! :banghead: You might also want to think about a balloon rating. The rating and used gear are fairly cheap, and not as boring as one might think. I have been considering it. http://www.aerostar.com/hotair/image...in_the_air.jpg http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/200...NP_468x615.jpg

Bushpilot | 08-10-2007 04:24 PM
Re: GIM Pilot Rating/Skills Poll (GIM Air Force Roll Call) I have an atp with two type ratings. I have yet to have as much fun as I did flying the bushplanes though. I spent most of my time in a Cessna 206 on wheels in SE Alaska. Did things with that airplane that would have had the designers shaking their heads in disbelief. Also spent a little time in tail dragggers and floatplanes of various makes and models. In a SHTF scenario I will be borrowing the nearest small aircraft to get to my bug out place. BP

Got the wife to sign off, now I have an N3 Pup. I forgot, no black bolts on the side. Hell, it looks cleaner that way. MT Silver

Re: GIM Pilot Rating/Skills Poll (GIM Air Force Roll Call) No pilot's license. I did solo when I was a teenager, and my first job was as a lineboy at a small airport. I've also been a member of the CAF off and on for a number of years (love those warbirds). My father was a private pilot, airline pilot, and after retirement from the airline, a Forest Service pilot.
