I heard they made Ted a mod and fled...

On a more serious note, I pranged my lovely airplane in an incident that was entirely my own damn fault and since have not felt deserving to be in your august company.

Glad to hear from you! Stick around. Hope you were able to get that nice Mooney flying again.
 
not sure why it's not picking up his screen name but @JasonM hasn't been around for a while. he's the dude that started the 'so student pilots where we at' thread that has been ongoing forever. we started training around the same time and shared a few training moments together. then he went full speed ahead with IFR, commercial, multi, blimp, multi-blimp, astronaut, UFO training, everything, and hasn't been back since.

Sorry to hear. Both the airplane and the unworthiness feeling. Stick around.
 
If you look at how fast members jump on a female pilot, I hope you'd see the problem. I could post the same note as a female and get a few responses. Gal gets much more attention and fast.

Always welcome here.

Remember the saying: "two types of pilots - those that have and those that will". Hope it gets repaired and you're back in the air soon!
 
Another one I just thought of from the "golden days" as Ted put it. Lady pilot, from the DC area, traveled the world, was fantastic at photography and shared her travel photos. I believe her name was Beth, but can't remember her screen name. Spike, Bill, Mari, anyone remember her screen name? I want to say tweety bird but that isn't right.

Elizabeth Anderson, don't know her screen name.

And looking through her friends list I see some other interesting folks that have left like Kent, Ken Ibold and Andrew Stanley. I keep up somewhat with Andrew on a different mailing list. (Yes, those still exist!)
 
Beat me to it Bill. I was racking my brain and "woodstock" eventually popped out!

Speaking of where are they now, how about Dave Siciliano? Dude gets a King Air and gets all uppity and leaves us. :p
 
Kent is busy with a wife and baby, we saw him a few weeks ago.

I always found Dave S. a very knowledgable source and a good pilot.

I consider myself fortunate to have some time with him and in the right seat of that King Air.

I pretty much quit flying after my partner in the Lance and his wife went down with another couple. That hit too close to home. I have since gotten back into motorcycles and get my aviation fix from my new career as an airport consultant. Miss the camaraderie sometimes, though. Maybe I'll start hanging out again sometimes ...

Flying, like motorcycles, is something that's easier to do until someone we're close to dies doing it.

My MSF instructor died in a motorcycle crash in May. I debated riding again after that, but he would've wanted me to. His funeral had a bunch of bikes escorting the hearse.

But I'm not riding as much, and expecially not on the days my wife is out of town flying the King Air for air ambulance. A lot of days I think it'd be better to sell the things.
 
Dave S is crazy busy developing exceptional and well-planned residential real estate, and he gets his online fix mostly at Beechtalk.
 
I had a happy and unexpected meeting with a mostly-former PoAer the other day.

For work, I do a fair number of flights into Flying Cloud KFCM, but it's always a quick turn so I never bother contacting anyone there since normally I have no time to talk.

But, we got in early the other day, and taxied right past Lance Fisher (@gismo) polishing up his Baron after a flight. I hadn't seen him in a really long time, so it was nice to have the chance to just walk over and catch up! :)

Talked to him over the radio this summer. He was departing LDM for FCM. I heard the tail number, and we popped over to 122.75 for a bit.

Oh, yeah and the surgery was fun. And then I got to deal with the FAA as part of the aftermath.
