Reese Byerrum Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I was just wondering if there are any Pilots on here. If so what do you fly, your type ratings and how many hours do you have? I am a pilot and I have about 120 hours. I know it's not a lot but I just started flying. I have my complex endorsement and I am working on my commercial, instrument and CFI ratings right now. Not going to fly for a living just for a hobby. I love it though and I would recommend it to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

air force vm Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have some friends that are U.S. Air Force pilots in the F-16s. They tell me that its one of the best rides they could ever do. I sure wish that I could have done something like that in the Air Force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
454MATT Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Flying is great. I fly a brand new Boeing 777 for Air Canada. Can't imagine doing another other job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBadSSS Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hopefully I'll be flying Super Hornets for the Navy in several years as I'm applying for a commissioning program that gets me a spot in the flight training pipeline! I'll found out in October if I'm selected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably built the the 777 that you fly! I was a plumber/electrian/mechanic working for the Boeing Co. from 1996 to 2003. How did they fly? Sure wish one day I will be able to fly in one that I had built. I helped build 350 of them before I was laid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are a pretty crazy airplane, its huge and it basically flies itself, its got to be the easiest job i have ever had. I can't get over all the systems and redundancies that work together to make for a safe and uneventful flight. Boeing makes a great product.
