My first flight post ticket was by myself to just feel comfortable. Then, my second was with my wife. She was very patient with me during the process. Learning to fly takes time away from your family and money out of your pocket, so reward the ones that supported you through the process. As...

prices?

Awesome y’all, thanks for the info. I’ll consider it, get with the employer about the policy and weigh my options.

Hey all, theres a chance I may be moving to a regional position that I may be traveling to and from different locations for work. I'm not an owner but am curious, could someone fly their plane and be reimbursed for expenses or is this a "pro rata share" scenario? No one else would be in the...

@wrbix can maybe give you his impressions? I had the pleasure of riding along with him and his Tiger flys like a dream!

You have to go to the Air Force Academy for that sort of training

They will be buzzing you now. They will be slinging your gear and making your radio calls in 10 years. Regardless of your decisions, best of luck to you too!

Dont stress it. Keep flying and pursue the civilian route. Your ROTC buddies will be calling you in 7 or 8 years asking if you will sponsor them at the airlines as an FO, while you are already in the left seat.

Units that have both Pilots and Navigators on their aircraft often times have a combo flying hiring board. Similar to what you likely experienced or looked into, units get (way) more applicants than slots they are hiring for. Often times, in my experience, guys with little to no flight time...

LOL

Understandable. I've seen guys move all over the country for a coveted AF Pilot slot. FYI, Navigators are quickly being replaced by Garmin and other cool, shiny things that makes Pilot's jobs easier. My unit is transitioning from legacy C-130H models to C-17's and I am now an Intel Officer...

Roger, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Is there a section of PoA that have local events or is it just posted for the masses to see? Im new here :)

Yes, I take a daily inhaled steroid as maintenance (Dulera, I think?) and have a rescue inhaler that is used as needed (not often). The process was long for the waiver with multiple tests and Appoitments over the course of a year of waiting. I understand completely. Military flight training...

Don't want to revive an old thread but I have first hand knowledge of this sort of thing. 1. I am in the Air National Guard 2. I have asthma 3. I have a USAF flying class 1A (Navigator) 4. I have a waiver for both military service and my flight physical All things are waiverable both with the...

I commissioned late in my career, at 10 1/2 years and now sit at 17 1/12. I'm 2 1/2 years away from my 20 year retirement eligible and the NCANG is currently transitioning to C-17s, which is why I am no longer a Nav. I flew as a Loadmaster for 6 years and a Nav as 6 years. I loved flying with...

Not sure I'll be able to make it as its next weekend, but appreciate it. Can you add me to your distro? Ryan.wagner at Mac dot com. Thanks!

Bill, replied to you. Thanks!

I'm still in the Air National Guard and get SOME tuition assistance for follow on training at 141 schools. AVL is the closest 141 school so I've got some funding up there. Wish there was a 141 school in Charlotte. Where are you located?

Anyone looking for another pilot or safety pilot to fly with in the Charlotte area? Looking for creative ways to log hours and keep flying while keeping costs down and meeting other pilots. Me: 34 year old PPL holder with about 70 hours in Cessna 152/162/172 and Diamond DA20 A/C. Previously a...
