April 7, 200521 yr Just amazing, to learn how to fly then go up by yourself and shoot takeoffs and landings...makes all the hard work and homework all worth it :thumbup . I posted pictures that I have taken over the last week on the link below. Some pretty cool stuff and pics from Kent State University's flight program...I would have posted the pics in the thread, but there all to big http://community.webshots.com/user/ericfanello
April 7, 200521 yr My Uncle flies. He owns a Cirrus SR22 G2. Cirrus Design What kind of plane do you have?
April 7, 200521 yr Congrats but I'd never go up in anything that doesn't have jet engines. It seems like anything less is a death trap. Then again, all planes are metal coffins flying at 500MPH and one loose screw away from crashing into a cactus farm in my opinion :shifty

The plane will transition from aluminum to completely composite in the near future. The smaller plane feels like if you're in a Sardine box because of the size.
April 7, 200521 yr That is awesome Eric! Great Pictures Good Luck Flying.....Say hi to my cousin for me if you see him :woot
April 7, 200521 yr Author right now i'm flying the cessna 152...not much power but the plane is very forgiving and good for initial training, next year i'll be flying the 172's, then the retractable gear 172's with alot of power, then the twin engine piper seminoles. Hopefully, if everything works out, I will have an internship with continental and get some initial training in a 737, but I really hope to get some learjet time if i can with another company.
April 7, 200521 yr Author My Uncle flies. He owns a Cirrus SR22 G2. Cirrus Design What kind of plane do you have? 732423[/snapback] he has a very nice plane, digital instriments and GPS i would have to assume. Top of the line airplane as far as single engine planes go, prolly has alot more power then the 152 i'm in right now
April 7, 200521 yr Congratulations dude :thumbup Piloting is something Ive always dreamed of. Do you have aspirations of becoming a commercial airline pilot ?
