age 36. Rides I've owned over the years: 1980 XL 185 1981 XR 200 1982 Yamaha Seca 550 1987 Yamaha TT 350 Planes I've flown when I was $ingle: Aeronca Champ 85 Hp, no radios & heel brakes. Cessna 150's Cessna 172 Cessna XP 172 When I figure out what I want to be when I grow up maybe I'll start flying again. I'm thinking about applying for the NBC show "Fear Factor" so I can make an easy $50K! mmmmmm Tasty bugs! Toughest stunt they've had contestants do was the hanging yellow car deal in the first show. So for now I'm getting in shape for my next Firefighter Physical Agility Test or "Fear Factor" whichever crosses my path 1st.

My ex-fiance used to own a 150 Aerobat. I had somewhere around 50-60 hours hands-on (the plane guys) with her in the passenger seat. Too bad she wasn't a CFI so I wasn't able to log it.. but I've been looking at them again lately. Gotta get the bike first!

I started in a Cub, then graduated to a Cessna 140 tail dragger. Haven't flown a light plane since I was 18. If you really want to fly for fun, try one of those powered parasails. No fear, but they are a kick in the ass! -- bierdo - 230lbs@63 Try my diet - Eat like a canary . . . shit like an elephant. "G. Meyer" wrote:

They are ok if you want to fly backwards in a stiff breeze. OTOH, gyroplanes are way cool. ObAge: I'm 41. Mister_T
