I try! :D



I would be banned from the site if I posted them! ;)


BTW, Rotor....dig the signature line. Don't have my rating but is on the top of list when I get back from training. Also, as you can see I really didn't learn much at school, so it fits me pretty well!

I had toyed with the things for some time, but finally finished using Sporty's motorglider. It's not as fun as "real" gliding, but it gets the job done and was convenient. To keep on topic, I don't know if it's on UC's syllabus, but you never know. In any case you use the same facilities and instructors.

Recent Alumni of 'The' Ohio State University, and I would have to say that I have no regrets of attending there whatsoever. Absolutley a great school, great flying opportunities in Columbus, and also, good internship and networking opportunities with all the corporate and GA in and around the city, and probably the best town to be in when college football season rolls around.

However, if you want to be a pilot by going there, become a pilot. BUT, do not get a degree in aviation. I know I am driving home 10,000 other peoples voices here, and I wish I would have listened before I got my degree (aviation management) . Get a degree in Business, Finance, Education, Engineering, etc. All airlines want to see is a degree, doesnt need to be aviation. Outside of this industry, your aviation degree is toilet paper with a picture frame around it. Fly on the side, get your ratings, and get a useful degree, then get your flying job! O-H-I-O

Ditto and great avatar? Are you lucky enough to fly one?

were in the process of allowing multi-engine and glider training count towards the commercial rating, i think they are talking with FAA now i'm not too sure...

Thank you very much!!! Actually yes indeed, that photo was taken by our mechanic while we were on takeoff out of TJBQ (BQN-Aquadilla, Puerto Rico) enroute to Port of Spain (TTPP). Great airplane to fly, really a hands on airplane, no autopilot, very powerful with those old Allison engines. I actually gained the opportunity to fly for that company (who was recently shut down by the Funny Acronymn Association) while at T-OSU. Great flying, great airplane

I think I saw that airplane while in PR. I've always loved the old Convairs. Any Convair - 240, 340, 440, 580, 640, 880, 990. They built airplanes with Man Law in mind. Cherish that experience. I almost flew one in the mid 90s for a freight carrier out of Detroit but then I landed a regional job and the rest is history.

IFL or Zantop???

Thanks for the all the replies. I already have my degree (got suckered at humpdy diddle airplane school) and full time instructing there. I just was thinking about jumping ship to the OSU, because my brother currently goes there so we could share an apartment...... oh and also mid western girls and 'the real college experience' I missed out on

yes you are wrong, and yes they are nice as hell.
