" Seems like you're a little disgruntled at the FAA's current system. "

--------------------------------------------

Naw, Gary I could care less about the FAA, I have basically turned over all the flying to my partners and let them worry about dealing with the Government agencies.

In fact I could care less if I never did another minute of training towards type ratings.

There is one last customer I have who bought a PBY in South Africa and I think it is still registered as Canadian, he is insisting that I do his type rating and I had told him I would several years ago so I guess I will go back to Africa and do him...he is American so I guess he will have to find a FAA licensed flight instructor to confirm that my training was acceptable but he knows that.

Anyhow I spent fifty three years dealing with cretins in government and am happy to be out of it.

..now if I can find a buyer for that little Aerobat that will be one less irritation to deal with.

I'm heading out to my sail boat to relax for a few days so will not be on here.

Have fun and remember " You can learn to fly in hours, it takes years to learn when not to. "

Here is one of my web sites with some of the airplanes we fly.

If you click around you will find my other site and the Aerobat as well as a bunch of other stuff.
