Introduction as a new member
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2013 7:19 pm
Hello fellow flyers. I spend summer in Vermont on Lake Champlain and winters in Tucson, Az where we have an Ultralight/LSA field SW of the Marana Regional some few miles (bring it up on google) When in VT I hang out frequently at Northern Lights Airfield in S. Alburg and Shelburne Airfield where I try to pass on my wisdom of aviation opinion formed over 67 years of flying from J3 Cubs on floats to Boeing 727-200 and 32,000 hours . I soloed my oldest son in our C-170 when he was 16 in 1970 and today he is a B 737 Captain with United Airlines with 25 years in. During this period from 1946 on I have worked as a A&E,CFII, F/E, and Airline Captain now retired. I let my medical expire along with my CFII but now find I need an activity connected aloft and have been looking into LSA and plan to teach my youngest son who is 53 this year to fly, and it's still too expensive. If anyone out there has any questions that are not out in left field I would be happy to try to help them out. I am not really pompous as some people would think this introduction, just honest and long lived so far.
