I have been looking at the forum for some time now, and really not only enjoy learing a whole bunch but love hearing the banter back and forth.

I am lookng at getting a plane and decided that this would be a great place to start.

My name is David and I live in Houston TX, (if anyone lives in TX and wants to go fly and split the cost)...PM me. I am have all my ratings with about 4800 plus hours. I have have flown 121, 135, cargo. I love flying. I love the people that come with flying, even if you have a huge ego...I can still learn, and thats why I joined up. I love to learn. even with 4800 I still consider myself a beginer. I have had two major fly experiances
1. landed a plane that was on fire..all passangers lived. and 2.I had a mass hydrolic failer, in a premier 1A.

I love to fish and hunt and thats were the pane comes in.

thanks for lreading and in advance ...please excuse my silly questions...

Using "BLUE SKYS" to sign off, makes me think you may have flown jumpers.

I did fly jumpers, C-182 and Twin Otter. I also have 1856 jumps myself. I then had an son who is now 8 months old and...well lets say I put it on hold until he is in colllege.

Congrats, new daddy. Who did you fly jumpers for? I have been jumping since 1978, I'm closing in on 6300 jumps, but I only made a couple of dozen jumps in 2014. Too busy with other stuff.

Welcome here David. Good name.
I have no desire at all to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, but hey, we all got made a bit differently. Glad you joined up and look forward to reading more posts.
Cangrats on the son as well. My little daughter will be 8 weeks on Sunday. Can't wait to get her up in the air when I can fly again in the spring.

Thanks for the warm welcomes!!

A1-
Congrats on the New baby. never thought I would love anything as much as I do my kid.

I cant wait to get up with him.

I did alot with Cross Keys NJ and another small operation in Pa. also one out in Ca which is now closed but was located in the mojve desert. I started out there. 36 years of jumping you must of had some fun!!!

Jetpilot,

So, you flew for Mr. Eddows. I have known him for 30 years. I am from PA. What little dz did you fly for? If you were still in PA, I could use another jump pilot to fly my 180 to haul my buddies and I. It is not a dz, just want to make some fun jumps every other weekend at my new airport. I don't plan on going to commercial DZs ever again.

I do know john awesome guy. Did a lot more jumping than flying with him.

The small place was perkeomin valley.

I would agree I am done with the comm. DZ but still love to jump. I normally take turns flying with another buddy. He flys I jump then I'll fly and he jumps. Still trying to figure out the auto land.
