Son in Law does. I'm just a GA guy working in on a commercial and a CFI spot so I can have something to do in retirement.

You have some great photos. I’m a GA pilot, but with a 25,000’ ceiling. And all my pictures turn out like shite.

Those are Amazing!

This is one I took and labeled to show people how far you can see on a clear night. There are nights when flying over central Louisiana where I can see Monroe on one side and Houma, New Orleans and platforms offshore on the other. Literally can see the whole state north to south.
Please school me on geography. I feel dumb and don’t see how this is correct. I feel like I’m gonna have an ah ha moment with the answer

We’re not allowed to talk about those.

How come?

Oil rigs, boats, and stars collide right off the coast of New Orleans.

Well, from 36,000 feet the view to the horizon with perfectly clear visibility would be 230 miles.
Louisiana is only 379 miles N to S. Flying over Alexandria at typical airline cruising altitudes you should have no trouble seeing the entire state. Honestly its really only applicable at night usually because you can pick out the major cities due to the concentration of streetlights.

Great pics. Labels would have been nice.

Always wanted to ask and forgive my ignorance...could you commercial pilots hop into a smaller aircraft like a Bonanza or Cessna and crank it right up and fly it? Or would you have to go through training for the particular aircraft?
In other words, could you walk in your local regional or municipal strip...crank up a plane, and take off? Again, maybe a stupid question...just curious.

The cockpit looks the same as the one I fly now. Well, I'm qualified on it. I hardly ever fly it anymore. I stick to the bus as much as possible.
Looks nothing like the H models I grew up on though.

Thank you for sharing!

Who can identify this?
I know that I'm responding to an old post but if you happen to see this...I meant to ask this before...is that the landing strip for Moffett Field top center? I spent 2 years in the Air Force stationed close to there.

Pretty much - but we’d have to be “current” in single engine planes per the FAA’s guidelines on recent experience.
No idea how the military side of things works, but everyone else did all our initial training in airplanes like that and worked our way up. I’ve got ~2000 hours in Cirrus, Cessna, and Piper aircraft, for reference. Some have more, some have less. We can all fly them… just can’t do it legally unless we’ve got some recency.
