Here's a good one which I forgot to mention....
The guy I flew the Cher 6 with that was all dressed to kill deer also looked like he hadnt shaved in months... and one of my questions to him was, "how much time does he have?" He said something like 5000 hours give 'n take a few.. So I asked him why he hadn't continued on with Alaska Airlines, etc.. His reply was, "I hate people!", "that's why I'm here in AK". I bet he's still around dodging moose and bears on the runway..

Nope...I was "lucky" enough to fly with him on his 75th birthday back in 1994. That would make him 86 this year. The guy is a living legend, but also quite notorious. He wanted to charge me $3500 to get trained in a Cherokee 180! When I told him I wouldn't pay him to work there the only thing he said to me was, "Bye!". He was able to find at least a half-dozen suckers that year to pay him.
Cheers!

in 2000 I made 1000/mo for 3 months then up to 1800/mo flying the "big 6". I had a great time, but it is not for everyone. not sure but I think the insurance requirements may be more than 500 hrs now. When I was there they wanted 700, but got insurance OK on a couple guys with less but they could only fly the archer.Guppy, I still like the avatar pic of "The Slide", brings back fun memories!!
