  1. Hi Mike, I live north of Nashville. I was looking at starting my ppl at Wings of Eagles at John C. Tune, but the airport is closed for 60 days while runway and FBO work is being done. I'd be interested to know where you are getting your instruction done if you'd care to share. Thanks, John

  2. I'll probably be back before you are off work, but I would come back this evening when you could meet. Also, if it's okay I have a friend staying in Franklin who is an A/P and a pilot. He owned a V35 years ago and was a crop duster, too. And worked his way to DC9 for Eastern Airlines. I'd like to bring him along if your good with that.

  3. JKSmith - I just moved from Franklin, KY to Portland, TN. Bought most of the light fixtures for my new house from a lighting company in Elkton. Hope to start flight training in two weeks. Eventually would like to have an F model. If you ever want someone to share expenses for one of those $100 hamburger runs, count me in!

  4. Isaac,

    A couple of months ago I was watching a c130 doing touch and goes at KBWG. I met a guy with his son watching as well. I believe the fathers name was Doug and he told me about a guy named Steve who owned a G model and taught in a 150. The number I was given for Steve matches what you have so that is great. I plan on starting my flight lesson right after I get back from a New Years Eve show we are doing in Canada at Niagara Falls. I thought Steve was out of Clarksville so he was too far away, but if he is in Springfield that is much closer. I will give Steve a call! Thanks for the info.

  5. My father was one of the original C-130 pilots for the Blues in 1970. I was a kid and got to be around the F-4's routinely. Skip Umstead, Lead Solo #5, was my favorite as he always took time for the kids! I still have a book depicting the maneuvers from like 1972 somewhere. My icon photo is the C-130 and dad is in the photo. Needless to say the Blue Angels are my favorite! :)

  6. Buster1. Thank you for your service to our country! As the son of a 21 year Marine, who was one of the original C-130 pilots for the Blue Angeles, and my youngest son in the Air Force, I appreciate your sacrifice.

    Could you please give your mission and what about it showed you that the Bonanza was the right choice. Also, which Mooney model(s) were in the running.

    As a future pilot and want to be plane owner, I am interested in your decision.

    Thank you,

    John

    PS. If memory serves correct, my profile picture is the autographed photo of the 1970 Blue Angles with one of my favorite planes, the Phantom F-4!

  7. Recently, I posted that I would have a couple of days off in Bentonville, AR. A Mooney Space member here offered to buy me lunch and show me his plane. Although our schedules didn't work out I greatly appreciated the invite. I also appreciate the attitude people have here. As a guy who can't start to work on his PPL until Feb. 2014 I was very pleased that someone without knowing me would extend an invitation. I thank you all for fueling the flames of my desire to fly!!!  :)
