Wait till we get the POS used ones from Freedom, even though their's are all NextGen. I'm sure you've seen the one with the green/missing nose cone around JFK.

Hey guys. I had a friend of mine send my stuff in through the employee referral program. I have low times, 900TT and 40ME. What do you guys think the chances are of getting an interview?

No foreplay’s required for his gal, to turn her on and get her going, all I have do is have to push one button (that doesn’t required two AA batteries). She climbs like a rocket and rides smooth on top, but once she gets going, it’s hard to get her down. Once its time to let her down, you have to be gentle and work your magic. She doesn’t like it when the wind doesn’t blow in her face on landing and comes from an angle, she’ll throw you some curve balls and can be quite a handful. Once on the ground, she’s exhausted while I get off her with a smile on my face. I walk around her for one last time to check out her rear, while thinking it’s now time for a beer (Hey, that rhymes)
Sometimes I get mad at her, especially 15164 (NextGen) 2 weeks ago when she decided that we couldn't use her A/P. And, of course, it was IMC. She gave me a couple of long, hard days...But I agree, she's a beauty (when she wants to co-operate)

Not trying to start anything but I look forward to flying something that "old." I've been flying SD3-60's built in the early 80's. Will be a nice change.
