Lately I've been seeing some reference in the threads to flying. How many members do we have that have civilian, military or commercial flying? I had 20 years flying jets in the Navy and 10 years commercial. Fast cars, fast bikes, fast planes and fast ......

You may want to try moving this to the 'Off Topic' section to get more response since this area is more NSX related. By the way....no, I cannot fly.

Hi Raven, I am thinking about taking lessons, do you have any suggestions, hints? PM me
raven, what kind of navy jets did you use to fly? I am currently in the Navy :smile:
Not an aviator, but a loadmaster.
Count me in, in fact there was just a thread about my Helicopter here awhile back:

Sulley, Sorry to about Delta's BK. I think you did the smart thing with early retirement though. Now take your car and run back & forth over your suitcase! :biggrin:

i managed to log ~20 hrs on my private before being early career financially hampered. then about 10 yrs later, soloed glider (wanted to see what it was like) then stopped.
a friend (former navy aviator) and i are considering buying a long-eze (like nsx, value-performance ratio is awesome, relatively minor maint issues) so are going through a "cooling off period" as we speak. if we decide to move forward, i'll need to wrap things up.

Achieved my PPL in Hong Kong 1994. Had plans to go commercial but constraints on time and money that come with a new family ensured that I kept working as an engineer...
I still love flying though...

There is quite a high correlation between NSX ownership and pilot experience. In most groups that have no association with flying - say, your co-workers, or members of your house of worship - you'll typically find maybe 2-3 percent have any flying experience (anything from a few lessons as a student to professional pilots). At NSXPO 2001, in Wisconsin, I took a show of hands of how many people had flown a plane, and about a third of those present had done so.
I have almost 400 hours as a private pilot, with ratings for ASEL, ASES, and gliders, and quite a bit of aerobatics.

Does a failed aviator count?
I was disqualified from Navy AOCS for being 1/2" too tall. :frown:
You flyboys make me jealous.

Just started should have 4.8 hours by the end of the week.
Terrific! At Waukesha? I'd been thinking about taking a loaner over there to go flying while getting my car serviced at Acura of Brookfield, especially since it's just down the street...Briank said:
Yes Waukesha, Crites Field UES http://www.critesfield.com/ it’s less then a 10 min. drive from my house which is right by AOB. The FBO is Waukesha Flying Services http://www.waukeshaflyingservices.com/so far they have been very good to me and their equipment is in nice shape and well taken care of. Even though it’s a major hub for corporate jets, Quad Graphics, GE ... its still a very relaxed place. I have been mostly flying the Cessna 172SP except when I managed to make it bleed brake fuild. I guess i don't need to practice my threshold braking while pre-flighting the airplane.
