How many of us are there?

Airplane Guy · 06-08-2009, 12:42 PM

So I was thinking. How many members are involved in aviation? Pilots? Flight Attendants? Dispatchers? ATC? FAA?

I was surprised to see an Aviation section here...

I am a pilot/sales guy for Monarch Air a Cessna dealer in Dallas....

5200 hours +/-

Flying around in a Cessna Corvallis TT right now (company plane)

Who else is here?

Just noticed this so I'll chime in...

Have been flying as a civilian pilot since 2001, and am in the middle of Navy flight school currently, in advanced jet training flying the Boeing/BAE T-45C Goshawk.

I'm at around 500 hrs total time currently...

Looking to get my Civilian license in the future.

Hello,

I did 12 years of Air Force active duty, then 4 years Air National Guard. After USAF pilot training I flew MC-130's for AF Special Operations. Two assignments in this aircraft: Eglin AFB in Florida and Kadena AB in Okinawa Japan (very fun assignment). I then was lucky enough to be selected for the one time USAF fighter crossflow program. I selected the F-16C. I learned how to fly this mad machine at Luke AFB in Pheonix, then went to Aviano AB in Italy for 3+ years. I saw lots of combat in Serbia and Iraq. I then left active duty and flew the F-16 for the ANG.

My flying life is much less exciting now, I gave up the fighter to be a parent and now I sit in the left seat of the A320 for JetBlue Airways. I really miss military flying, but the airline life is great for family time. My 3 boys all play baseball and I have plenty of time off to help coach. The wife is much happier now that I'm not getting shot at anymore. The A320 is also a pretty sweet jet to fly. I just hit 10,000 hours!!

I build and fly experimentals. Certified aircraft just isn't for me....except for a few models out there. The plane that gets my blood flowing is the F24 Fairchild with the 165 horse Warner. I am in the planning phase right now of an all metal F24 replica that'll be powered by probably an R670 from a tank. I also like the Navion and a few others.

Flew F-106's in the USAF for 4 years in the late 70's. My eyesight started to go so I lost flight status finished my time as a maintenance officer.
Should mention I was stationed at Griffiss AFB in Rome NY.

Wouldn't exactly call myself a pilot but did get to the stage where I went solo on one of these when I was in the British equivalent of ROTC:
