Greetings! First post here. Just a'wonderin' if there were any flying folk here. I have 3 of my ratings so far in my pursuit of becoming a professional pilot. Needless to say, Wash is one of my role models.

Very cool! Best of luck to you.

Not a pilot, but I was aircrew in the Coast Guard for some years (and a corpsman). I kind of miss the air - especially helos. Wash is my favorite as well.

I used to be confused, now I'm just not sure.

I had one lesson and was solo hands on for everything except landing.

A friend of mine is an Australian Air Force fighter pilot(FA-18's). I envy him enormously, he was recently promoted to from squadron leader to wing commander. Not bad for 35 yrs old hey.

You can often find him on the chat here if you want to talk about flying.

Well, it's that "nearly" that makes all the difference.

Always wanted to be a pilot, but I lack the 20/20 vision (and the physique, but I could probably fix that if I seriously thought I had a chance).

Plus, what I really want is to be a space pilot (I love studying orbital mechanics and astrophysics), but the most advanced spaceship I'd probably ever get a crack at is basically a glorified delivery truck that spends most of its time coasting downhill. . .

While I don't fly myself, I work at the National Air and Space Museum in DC where I get to teach bunches o' kids about how things fly (and how to make good paper airplanes ).
