Default RE: How many here fly full-scale?

I used to be a CFI out at Sonoma County/Petaluma and met Wayne a few times. Class act all the way and I'm glad he fully recovered from his mishap several years ago. Always wanted to be a member of the Pole Holder's Club but missed the opportunity. Him, Sean, Eddie, Vern..... great bunch of guys and I still look back that I was lucky enough to meet all of them and more at the Herendeen Safety Seminars. Vern did not deserve to go. I'm jealous of and happy for you, Brett. (Does Wayne still have his "howeee" stick?)



All:

Let's see..... Cox Sportavia in 1978, Andrews H-Ray 1979-81. Goldberg Gentle Lady, Goldberg Little Tiger, Ace 4-40, Gee Bee Tiger Moth until 1989 when I sold my all gear to finance going back to school. Wills Wing Duck 160 Hang glider 1987-1998, various GA aircraft 1989-1996. ATR-42/72 FO/Captain 1996-1999, Embraer ERJ-135/145 1999-2005 Captain/Check Airman.

Now recovering from triple knee surgery, scheduled to be recalled to my airline in April to fly the 737 with a transition to the 757 this fall. BLAC Gymgallo last December, Mountain Wings Magpie January 2005, 4*40 February 05, and am now about halfway through a DARE JN-4D. Proctor Antic about halfway done that I started after making ATR Captain but never got around to finishing (got married instead, divorced now) But she's hanging on the wall as a nice piece of art. I'll get on her after the Jenny is done, I think.



All because a gentleman named Howard Fee let my best friend and I wash his C-195 when we were 15, then took us up from OAK-Napa and back.

-yes, I am VERY lucky, and I am VERY grateful for everything.
