  1. Good luck to you whatever you come up with.
  2. I am. I'd like to have some sort of job to do with aviation though. Perhaps I could take a look at BAe Systems...;)
  3. I flew Connies, DC-6s/7s, 737s and DC8s. As much as you think you might want to be an airline pilot, I would sure be looking at other options in today's climate. Like just about everything else; it isn't like it used to be. Sad.
  4. Sounds like a great job! I want to be an airline pilot when I'm older. What plane did you fly? I'd like to fly for bmi and fly an A319.
  5. Yes.....for The Friendly Skies.
  6. Now that's cool! You were an airline captain? What airline did you fly for?

    Surface Tension

    I see. Now I know what to do if that ever happens to me.

    Surface Tension

    >>>"But at the surface there is nothing to counter the net attractive force between the water molecules immediately beneath the surface -- and the skin of surface tension forms. Anything sticking down in this skin -- like the dangling legs of the unfortunate yellowjacket -- will be attracted to the underlying water, dragging the creature down into the water with such force that it is unable to escape, its struggles serving only to get itself wet, deepening its plight. Ahh.....so, how do you and your condo neighbors get out of this pool once you take a dip?!?! Now don't tell me you have someone sweep you out!
  9. and to replay to the Did you get the info on the engines? ... No I did not find it. I Just got this Message thing working right Now I can see all of our post in one aera.

     

    Re: the BRIDGE. I was looking in your Albums and you have a few shots of a photo taken Looking out of the Wheel House. aka. "Captain on the Bridge" Looking as a Big Wave Breaks over the Bow. and it looks as if it is going to Swomp over the Deck and Cargo.

  10. Well, I've flown a lot of airplanes in my day but I don't think I could handle your setup!! Looks too busy for this oldtimer. 'Course I don't have any place to install a setup like that either.

     

    Ya, that's me up front, but I don't know what "Bridge of the ship" you're talking about. I have spent many hours in those "cockpits" as well.

     

    Take care. Glad I don't have to pay your electric bill!

     

    Did you get the info on the engines? Don't know if I posted in the right place.

    I don't even know where to post these.
