After an absence I felt a need to return to light GA flying.
I was also curious if I’d still like instructing. I do. |

I built an RV, and still fly it as often as possible. It's avionics are more advanced than those in the RJ I fly for work, and it handles like (or better than) Van's claims.
I'd leave the pt 121 world before I'd give it up. |
Yes. Own. Cessna 180, on floats when the water is liquid. Not often enough, although I did fly it yesterday. Here's a pic from that flight:

Cool picture.

Those Still Flying GA
Yes, Cessna 185. I don’t get to fly it as much as I’d like nowadays, but I did get to fly it a bunch around the Rockies last summer and really enjoyed it.
I have pictures of it on floats and skis from it’s former life in Alaska, but it lives a pampered life in the south now. I can’t justify owning it, but I’ll own it as long as I don’t miss a meal paying for it,and I’d like to get a CFI one day. I think I could use it doing BFR’s for my Ag buddies.

Do any of you fly to your work instead of drive? I would think that would be nice if your commute was within an hour or two.

Well, I live about a half mile from our base, and my plane is usually tied down at a GA airport that's further away, so I'd have to reeeeeaaally want to fly to work to do that. A while back, I was working on the airport where I keep my plane, and I was temporarily living at a friends house on an airstrip on the other side of town and I used to fly home for lunch, so there's that. |

I hate traffic. |
