Stop in for a cup of coffee

You see your shadow on top of the clouds

Wow that would be an awesome experience but don't know if I could handle it at my age.

G.W. did it while in his 80s

G.W. did it while I'm his 80s

Never tried it before but always wanted to. Bucket list I think for me.

 

[Tooljunkie]

yeah, i wanna do my own alignment.. don't wanna blow $200 on turnplates.. there are ways to make ones at home, i need to get on that.. winter is coming

I bought a sheet of white plastic stuff, polyethelyne i think. Cut it in 12” squares out of 1/2 of the sheet, two pieces with grease in between. I can slide cars on them easily. Could have likely got by without grease.

We are road tripping to you Frank if we can’t figure it out ourselves here.

Lol, ok.

As long as you were buying the beer

 

[dartnabout]

I could even fly you up in the sky and let you jump out

 

[WV64Signet]

I could even fly you up in the sky and let you jump out

I would appreciate that greatly

 

[dartnabout]

I had to sell my plane

 

[dartnabout]

Maybe someday again

 

[WV64Signet]

I had to sell my plane

I flew a bit while a teenager in Civil Air Patrol. Cessna 152s. Fun stuff... But I like exiting better

 

[dartnabout]

Never had that desire

 

[WV64Signet]

Never had that desire

Just over 1060 times.

 

[dartnabout]

I was in Civil Air Patrol myself. My uncle was an instructor and took me up a few times for lessons but unfortunately I didn’t get much past that.

We had a Senior member who was an alcoholic. He'd do the preflight, then go to sleep once we got in the plane and started to taxi.

You'd just wake him up when you landed.

Sorry to hear that Tike I know how that feels not being in the air and grounded. I don't fly but my son does and went on a lot of trips with him.
