The wife has decreed that if I’m going to buy an expensive toy to fly around in it has to have at least 4 seats.

Otherwise I would’ve bought a Piper Cub years ago.

Best money I ever spent. I earned mine making $3.50 per hour. Really. Never took a paycheck. Just traded hours for flight time. Made cash (which I plopped down for flight time) washing planes for private owners.

Time to knock one off the bucket list and get private pilots license. Any reccs on a good CFI in Northeast La area??


Have you lined up your physical yet? Might want to pass that first before you spend any real money. You'd be surprised what they can disqualify you for.

I haven't looked but those things depreciate pretty fast, they seem to reach a level and stay at that level forever, her boss wants to go in partners on something, he's got some pretty deep pockets

I want to buy one of those and start a skydiving business on the weekends.

Weekdays will be for ferrying product across the gulf.

Really? I'll have to go back and look at that again. I was concerned about my blood sugar. They are always concerned about low blood glucose...mine is never low...always just higher than normal. For that I was told I was DQed because I take medicines for that.

Ruston Aviation is the most professional FBO in NLa.

Great airport to learn in, also. Uncontrolled airport, but if you need a xo troll tower just hop next door to Monroe’s TRSA.

one of our check airmen that I work with is also a civilian designee, he told me that they have sort of good faith system for what used to be called a Class III medical now, he said if your medical was never revoked and was in good standing when it lapsed you can basically go on line or to an AME and get whatever the new name of it is, I'm not sure if it expires or not
