If so. What do you fly? I took some lessons when I was younger but never followed through with it.

I was a pilot in the infantry.

It was my job to pile it here, pile it there, etc.

Marty, the trapper from one of those Alaska reality shows is a member here, I believe. Pretty sure he does a good bit of flying.

Earned a private pilot license in Alaska in 1985. VFR, single engine with no float rating. Beautiful scenery in Alaska. Very expensive to maintain flight status so I let my license lapse. Could take off in a small plane today but landing would be difficult!

I flew for 31 years as my job. Flew several different planes but the most were husky and super Cubs. Just under 14,000 hours

Any DHC-2 time?

My 17 year old Nephew is working on his license...been up 4-5 times now.

300.00 per hour

That is a lot of money. How many hours to get a license?

I believe he said. 40 hours of flight time

I would love to get a pilots license but can't.

I work for an airport as the operations superintendent.

YT-1300

I flew for many years as a biologist in bush Alaska. No roads in the village I lived in. Had a SuperCub for work duties. Also had my own 'Cub. Trapped for many years with that 'Cub. PA-18s. Piper Super Cubs. Tundra tires, floats, and skis.

I’m a flight instructor for an organization that teaches missionaries how to fly. We have Cessna 172s,182, 206.

Its really expensive now compared to when I got mine. I have a commercial, single engine, multi engine ( which I never use) instrument and back in the mid 80s cost me around $15,000

I have a friend that was an F16 pilot and now flies a jet for UPS, he was also an instructor and taught me to fly and I bought a 2-seater light sport built in the Czech Republic. I retired from the phone company and worked for 9 years for him as airport manager before retiring completely. I sold my airplane when I left the airport. I stuck a GoPro on my wing strut while flying around one morning. Here is the video if you want to go for a ride with me.

Current student pilot. Roughly half way through, but having a hard time sneaking away from work to complete it.
Like Gulo, no roads in the village and I could use a Super Cub for work and be better at my job.

Hoping to take time off in April to finish up. I have 20hrs on the books in PA18s and C150s.
No full time CFI here and winter weather makes training locally prohibitive.
Was quoted $15-17k for part 141 schools in AZ/TX/FL.

Think I can get it done in the Midwest for closer to 5-6k.

Yeah. Need to total my logbook, probably 10,000-ish hours. Currently a 767 captain at a US cargo airline.
