Wilbur ★ Posted November 14, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 14, 2015 Were you a Snowbird? Mr. Aire wants to know. No, not me. That was for 2 or 3 tour guys. I did one (7 years) and was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted November 14, 2015 That will be an interesting twist in the timeline of Wilbur's aviation adventures story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted November 14, 2015 Share #7 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) That will be an interesting twist in the timeline of Wilbur's aviation adventures story.Yup, I did it backwards but joining was recession driven, leaving was a desire to fly transport aircraft. Chances of that were almost zero staying in the forces. Times have sure changed. There are guys entering in their late forties and going direct to Transport on the A310's and C-17's. They will never see a combat machine.. Well, maybe a rotary wing. Edited November 14, 2015 by Wilbur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_photog ★ Posted November 14, 2015 Share #18 Posted November 14, 2015 I started working on my SES rating. Finishing it will have to wait till next summer. My friend who owns the plane took the floats off for the winter. It drinks a lot of 100LL. The grass strip you have seen in many of my pictures belongs to the owners Dad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
