Nah. I compete in real sports, and don't need to get my adrenaline kicks
by flying little planes in search of $150 hamburgers while wondering why I'm so obese...... |

Hi Ice. I noticed the wonderful reception you got here when you talked
about starting training. Best of luck!! But, decide first if you really have the time to devote -- flying just isn't for amateurs -- and what u wanna do with your ticket. If its just to fly around looking for spots to eat and refuel, I think its weird, but to each her own! Just please don't wake up the whole damned neighborhood while your getting your kicks. My sports: amateur mogul skiing comps, some NASTAR, tennis, mountain biking. (I wonder why anyone who has had the experience of carving a perfect turn, or cutting the line thru the bumps right down the fall line, wouldn't immediately decide that nothing else in the world could possibly top this, especially something passive that requires use of an engine. Ski areas bring enormous economnic benefits to areas in which they are located. I believe my season passes s/b govt. subsidized. ;-) ) |

Hi Skylune
You are a scream, why on earth would I pay =A3=A3=A3 if I just wanted to find spots to eat, I'd walk in my nearest town, we have probably the largest % of restaurants of anywhere I know. I want to try flying because I know I will either be terrified or enjoy the buzz of being that far off the ground and possibly in control. Why not for amateurs, we all have to start somewhere, or if your not a 'serious' pilot are you not allowed to play? Just please don't wake up the whole damned neighborhood while your getting your kicks Now whick kicks are you talking about, somethings just aren't that loud ;-) I happen to live under one of the flight paths for the airfield I mentioned, and we don't have problems with noise. My choice of sport is obvious, and in MHO is far better than skiing could ever be, and yes I've been skiing. now please forgive the language barrier again, but NASTAR? Regards Quote of the week is 'try in on something with a mind of it own!' |

You're giving skiers a bad name, skylune.
People become expert pilots for the same reasons they become expert skiers: for the sense of accomplishment, mastery, and thrill. Come find me at the Beav and I'll show you the way down Ripsaw. Anyway, you make too much noise. Seth PSIA Level III, Vail/Beaver Creek Ski School PP SEL, SES, Instrument Comanche N8100R "Skylune" wrote in message lkaboutaviation.com... Hi Ice.

Blimey, your a charmer aren't you, what sports would they be? I would not nominate "Skyloon" for "Troll of the Year." I would, however, nominate him for Chief Fig plucker. He is, after all, the Fig Plucker's son, and, he has been plucking figs ever since the Fig Plucker left town. I would nominate some of the raghead apologists in other newsgroups for "Troll of the Year." |
