First officer at a Fractional company

20yr Herk pilot looking into post retirement jobs

36 yo male looking to escape regional line.

I have had the privilege of flying two Albatross's. The first was for an environmental group of the west coast of Mexico, landing behind cruise ships and large ocean going vessels, taking samples of the crap they had pumped overboard. Unfortunately this didn't make me very popular with anyone. The airplane is still on a beach about 5 miles north of Mazunte, Oaxaca, Mexico. Pictures can be viewed on google earth. For pilots or adventurers check out my book with the Albatross on the cover, its free this week.

Hello:

I am a 28-year-old aspiring pilot with a large aviation background; unfortunately, none of my aviation experience has been by flying but by maintenance, instead. I joined the U.S. Air Force in 2004 and worked on the F-15 E as an Aircraft Armament Technician, but I knew I wanted more for myself and left the military in 2008. I then accepted a job offer working for a contracting company in Iraq. My job consisted of refueling many rotary and fixed wing aircraft, but soon found myself with no job since many U.S. military bases closed due to troops returning back home or heading next door to Afghanistan. After close to three years, I returned home to my beautiful family and attend school full-time. While in Iraq, I met a pilot whom had been furloughed--unfortunately--and decided to fuel planes because the income would closely mirror that of his last job. It was hard for him, but he never gave up, as he consistently looked for other job opportunities. Because of him, I now know for a FACT I want to become a pilot. I have six classes remaining before I transfer out to Lewis University and continue my path in becoming a pilot!

Hi, I just got my private pilot certificate and have begun working towards my instrument rating. Would appreciate the opportunity to learn from interacting in these forums.

Hello, I am currently an ACFT Maintainer in the Air Force. I have a few hours in a 172 from a few years back. I have read through quite a bit of this forum. I am trying to figure out what is best for me, If that be going the Military Aviation route, or just hopping out and dropping a fortune on training.
