Just happened to get a photo of my house. See if you can find it!

Awesome. Any day flying is a good day.
Tell him he needs to get himself some wheel pants! :D
Edit: Wait a second... Are students allowed to have non-IP passengers before they get their license?
The one with the dog running loose in the front yard. Or was that the neighbors pickup he was pissing on?Quote:

This wasn't a commercial flight though. It sounded like the PIC had solo'd, but didn't have his license yet. Just asking the question.Quote:

Also, for an ATP, the highest level of license, you need 1500hrs, plus 300hrs XC unless you meet one of a few exemptions that lower it to 1250 (military pilot for example)
I'm sure his friend is working towards one of these licenses, but already has his PPL, and that's why he is building time.
And here I sit at lowly 180 hrs, but did that in only 14 months.
20" barrel for the SCAR 17.

Yeah, it wasn't cheap but with how rare they are, I decided to splurge.Quote:

Beats my 138 logged hours. Last hour I logged was in 2007. I fly right seat with friends and family every chance I get, but I don't have time, money, or reason to get current again right now. Other priorities will keep winning out for a least a few more years.Quote:

(literally has neither) Working 2nd job to pay for training and fuel, which he has no time for because of work. Circle of life?Quote:

Bought my dream bike today. 2010 Yamaha R1. Purchased from the original owner with 4K miles. I'm trying to figure out how to upload a video of the exhaust because these crossplane motors sound like nothing else on the road.

My brother taking it for a spin
That was my last bike riding experience...just going thru the gears...look down doing about 120MPH, promptly exited the highway and returned the keys to my buddy. Told him to never give me the keys again!! Freakin awesome!

Congrats!!!!
I had a 02 R1 and IMHO they are simply the best bike on the road! Last day I had mine I hit 127 coming home form the fed center (3am) and hit that speed from Kipling to wads....the R1 is a beast!
I agree and thank you!! I have had 9 street bikes in the seven years that I have been riding and this is my second R1. I have tried a lot and the R1 is really tough to beat. IMHO, they have always been ahead of the game on looks and technology. The dual underseat exhaust just looks badass and the front end speaks for itself. The power this thing deliveries is amazing. It is well tuned down in B mode but crank it up to A mode and it runs like a cheetah on cocaine. My record ('04 R1) was 179mph on a closed course in Mexico. It still had more to give but I ran out of road. I'm not nearly that ambitious anymore to try that again but I have a feeling this bike will do that in a much faster time than it's previous generations.Quote:

Sweet bikes! I rode an R1 one time. Went so fast I told myself never again. I'll stick with Atvs and UTVs.
Boss decide to hush an old LJ24 so he could use it again after the noise requirements went into effect this year. A couple of non-NFA cans and it's good to go.

Hush kit (sound suppressor) that makes this ancient Learjet stage 3 noise compliant. FAA mandated that all aircraft weighing less than 75K lbs be stage 3 compliant by Jan 1, 2016. It was with either put it on a stick in front of the office or pay to make it less loud.Quote:
