Default My brother-in-law has a Pilatus PC-XII

It's like driving a caddy - more fun as a pax than PIC. Wrote some software for him once and got to fly his Trinidad - now that got my CFI all jealous.

Gosh, I stopped flying a few years ago (too much else going on and there is nothing worse than a tired pilot) but now you've got me thinking of the good old days. Maybe when we go public....

Mmmmm....Mooney.....<p>Daphne

Default Hmm, As I found out tonight, The S4 can fly.... (more)

Umm, going a little to fast, but enjoying myself, I found out that the S4 takes airborne situations pretty well. I'd say by my estimations, and my friends estimations, we got about 20-30 ft in distance, and about 5 ft above the ground, and my car landed as soft as a pillow. A good drop off on the other side of the hill was the only reason for the huge air time.(which was completely unexpected) Very risky yes, but also quite fun. Won't do it again soon though, since I had to change pants afterwards, just about as fun as riding the Millennium Force at Cedar Point!!

Default No, but I jump out of them regularly. Does that count?

I've got over 850 skydives, used to hold a professional exhibition rating (PRO) but let it lapse.
