Salutations Sodomites!

[c172]

Thanks for the welcomes, folks. Most of you seem to have a bit of a . . . caustic(?) sense of humor - I dig it. Maybe I will be around more often than I first thought, but still not too much - my new job already has me glued to a keyboard. I wish I got to fly all day! Sadly, not so. 

I wonder how many pilots are on this board? I've often pondered the dichotomy of flying for a living (especially in the military) and religion (or lack thereof). Wow, there's a whole tunnel system of rabbit holes built into that sentence. Meh. 

 

'allo once again. I am C172.



Not a C172, though. Which is good. I'd find it hard to type with just my propeller and/or my tires. 

Nope. Just kind of an avgeek. Don't even have a license. My uncle works at Boeing up in the Seattle area. Bias aside (I swear), I am a fan of their older products, like earlier 747's, and the 727. I used to go with my biological father to a lot at the foot of the runway at KSAN to watch operations there. Fun times. I miss some of those old airlines, like CP Air and Western and TWA (still can't believe they are no longer with us). 

I do enjoy surrogate flying, so to speak. MrAviation101 is a young 20-ish YouTuber from San Marcos, TX (go Texas State!), near Austin. He does a lot of vids that are just flights of his in his Cessna, complete with ATC convos and explanations of what he is doing and why (he just got certified as a CFI).
