Here as well. I am fortunate enough to get to mingle with it everyday.

**JonnyVideo** · 06-05-2008, 06:23 PM

this is great.

I have been flying in the NAVY since 1986! Does that count as a "WING NUT?"

**pgregory** · 06-05-2008, 06:40 PM

Lol I'd think so. I'm still going for my private pilot myself, had to take a financial break from it but eager to get back to it now.

I used to say I'd give up my car and house to have my own plane... I still hold to that today. Does that count? Lol. Ill be finishing up my PPL at the end of this year

Stopped by to say hi and welcome. I make my living as a pilot. Been flying for an airline 23 years now and still love it(Beats working). Good luck in your flying venture........fly safe!!

**superaj** · 06-05-2008, 07:37 PM

I flew a plane a couple of times. My friend had a plane for a while and he would let me fly once in a while. He sold it though but it was fun while he had it.

I wouldn't say I'm a aviation nut, but it's a living...

Training in the F-22 cockpit:

**pgregory** · 06-06-2008, 09:24 AM

lol dude I bought those randolph aviators too (the matte silver). Couldn't get a good size that fit me though, either too big or too small. Guess I wasn't meant to wear 'em.

Anyone have good suggestions for sunglasses they wear in the cockpit?

got mine on ebay. there are 52 (like mine), 55 and 57. Try all those?

**pgregory** · 06-06-2008, 10:09 AM

Yeah, the 52mm were too small, the 55 felt too big. Does anyone use any other type/brand successfully? (without having to spend like $300)

**rjak707** · 06-06-2008, 10:15 AM

Another wing nut....Canadian and US PPL since 1986.

**runner7395#IM** · 06-06-2008, 10:17 AM

Private pilots license. Also spent 12 years in the Air Guard.

**CJH315** · 06-06-2008, 11:36 AM

Tactical flight officer here (glorified 3rd seat crew chief) on our Huey's we had before my alert unit disbanded. My department is starting another so fingers crossed. I'm an Air Force brat and spent many a day or night following my dad around the hangers and sitting in cockpits.

Love this thread:-)
don't fly myself, but am a flight attendant and love everything with aviation.

**pgregory** · 06-06-2008, 12:13 PM

Does anyone listen to any aviation related podcasts? Myself I like fly with me, betty in the sky w/a suitcase, the pilotcase and uncontrolled airspace...oh and the finer points.

**JonnyVideo** · 06-09-2008, 04:45 AM

My Idea of a Aviation Podcast is listening to ATC over the internet. Most liked is JFK Ground. That is fun. *Hold short crossing runway 25 Jet Blue255. Holding Short runway 28 for Jet Blue255. Roger Jet Blue255 I stand Corrected.*
