Dan Luke

tent for the tirekickers to sit in. The roominess is truly impressive,

projecting an 1100 lb. useful load for the airplane if you build it...

What is this sports pilot license about? by
Frequent_Flyer
Hi Again,
I was noticing their have been a lot of posts on the usenet about this
sports pilot license that doesn't even require a physical.

What a day! Today I made my first cross country as a licensed private
