Finally updated my logbook...

[minitour]

Yeah, I'm gonna say no to the SE large-body-of-water thing too. And in light of the croc hunter incident, I'd like to offer an amended #3: things that could eat, stab, poison, electrocute, drown, strangle, or float around me in a generally weird manner.

Glad to see someone from Scareman has progressed in aviation, mini. While the primary focus of my life has shifted to starting an unrelated business, I'm still rolling towards that magic 250 the 61 way... but probably wouldn't have picked up my tailwheel signoff or taken all the pleasure trips around the state doing it any other way!

I second the motion to amend...#3 amended...motion to dismiss.

I wish I had done it the 61 way. I see advantages to both sides now (61 & 141) especially since starting to deal with the FAA on my own 141. I'm going to do my darndest not to push a 141 package over a 61 and also a 61 over a 141. I think each person needs to decide for themselves...but I recently started a student in a 61 program here and he needed to get his 50 PIC xc...he told me yesterday he learned more about weather and go/no go decisions in that 50 hours (done in less than 10 days to boot!) than he did in all of his student pilot training.

I wish I could have flown to more interesting places than OUN-ADM OUN-SWO every day...what a "joy" that was.

Oh well....some enjoy the same thing every day, some don't I s'pose.

What's the biz you're starting?

I did all my flying Part 61 should be pushing over 1,000 by the time I get back from my next adventure!!! Part 61 is the way to gain valuable experience Vs. Part 141 I think 141 is for speed not experience!

It has a time and a place...it's certainly not for everyone.

I don't fly SE PISTON over water. Turbine however is different.

It would be nice if you could sell time and experience on the internets.
I could see EBAY now. "1000 heavy turbine 121 for sale"

You put so many $ into those hours, you should be able to get them out.

As much as I laughed...lets not let this turn into a ___ thread. I think we've all beaten that horse to death quite enough.

Yeah, Okla. had its up-sides (wait... what were they again?), and its downsides, a big one being that everywhere you go looks like where you've already been.

I'm having infinitely more fun buzzing around random places in OR. The hours build slower for me, but maybe that's why I savor each one I get even more now. Can't say every launch out of OUN was such a magical treat.

The biz is a restaurant franchise I've been interested in since I moved back. Hopefully that will take place in 2-4 months and help get me on my way. I'm sick of renting other peoples' airplanes.

Is it going to be a Chuck Norris Chicken Place, no wait..... Chuck Norris only eats raw beef.

Hoe-say was craptastic...especially working both frequencies.

"Ground, N1234Z Airman, AWOS, taxi VFR East"
"N1234Z, West-hi-mer ground, taxi to runway 3"
"Runway 3, 34Z"
"Tower, N1234Z Runway 3 ready VFR East"
"N1234Z West-hi-mer tower, runway 3 turn on course cleared for takeoff"
"Cleared for takeoff 3, N34Z"
*on climbout*
"34Z say direction of flight"
"VFR East"
"okay, sir I need you to tell me that when you call me up ready for takeoff, I have other airplanes I need to sequence behind you"
"uh....okay....VFR East"

The chick was decent though....nice radio voice.

PS
Good luck w/ the biz...starting a business is the hardest most fun thing in this world to do.

Ohh god I remember that lady controller. I got all my training at OU and I would be shaking everytime she was in the tower. She was horrible at times. Sequencing people in so close that I nearly had 2 mid-air collisions in the pattern. Half the time it seemed that she didn't know where the planes actually were. Now as for Jose...he was awesome. He got you in and out at a pretty good rate and kept you clear of everybody. Hats off to Jose.

uh......are we talking about the same people?

I had a totally different experience...but I wasn't thrilled about being there in the first place, so that probably biased me.
