I wish I had your job...

Jet-setting around the world in light pistons airplanes; I honestly
can't think of a better gig.

Shouldn't that be 'prop-setting around the world' or 'piston-setting around
the world'?

Although it sounds like a great job, I'm sure it5 has plenty of drawbacks.
I'm sure it would stop being fun for me the first time I didn't feel like
flying today, but sill had to.

It sounds cool but for the risk and time away from
home (living out of a suitcase) it doesn't pay squat.

In gthe long run its nice to live at home and make
enough money to own your own plane.

After a long day/night flying, what do you do at alone in your hotel
room in a foreign country?

You have a laptop, and the day's events are fresh in your mind. Why
not consider this an opportunity to hone your typing/English grammar,
and writing skills during these moments of solitude? Just launch MS
Word, and into another chapter in your book of adventurous youthful
pursuits. Who knows, you might even be able to market your stories;
they would make interesting articles for the slick magazines, or taken
together, an autobiographical novel, but at least you'll be able to
reflect back on these heady days of travel throughout the globe, and
relive some of the mysteries and events you have witnessed over the
years.

Don't let these priceless experiences fade into oblivion. You'll be
happy you invested a few moments a day, and so will your readers.

Agreed. His is a great job for a young pilot with no wife or family at home.
As someone with three small boys, I can assert that being away from them for
weeks at a time is not my idea of a dream job.

You never call, you never write...what kinda guy ARE you?

:-)

Sorry about cutting you short the other day on the phone -- we're in
the midst of a major hotel lobby remodel, and it's just kicking my
ass. 15 hour days for the last week -- no end in sight. Give me a
jingle when you get back!

Not everyone is willing to set off in a single engine piston airplane over
the Ocean, I enjoy the adventure and flying the many diffrent makes and
models of airplanes most of all seeing the world.

I own my own home (Well paying the Bank back for it) I own My Airplane (Paid
For) I Don't get to fly it much so I am thinking of selling it. I Could care
less to stay in this box and type of this keyboard or watch the brainwashing
tube/lcd/plazma gas etc.

Are you putting ferry tanks in the 150 for the trip to Peru?

BTW, If you're standing around with a bunch of guys in Peru drinking beer
and they hand you a bottle, don't drink from the bottle. Wait a few seconds
and they'll hand you a glass.

Harrumph! I, OTOH, am descended from a long line of barbarians, and pleased
to say so.

I haven't even descended from them yet :)

I was drinking from a can last night, even though it clearly said on the
side to pour it into a glass (Guinness)

Drinking instructions are printed on the sides of beer cans???

I'd like to meet the lawyer that was involved in =that= one! Or may be not.
