Greetings. Dick Goetze here, checking in with my first post. I began flying a long time ago, and still enjoy it. My first solo was in April 1951 flying a J-3 Cub on floats. Since then I have flown a number of civilian and military aircraft. During Vietnam I flew the AC-47, Puff the Magic Dragon. That was 1200 hrs in one year, of which 1000 hrs were night time. Later, I flew and stood nuclear alert in the B-52G.
My current flying is in a Grand Renaissance Turbo Commander 690A. We have the plane stationed at KGAI which unfortunately is just within the Washington DC restricted area, so that means virtually all our flying is on IFR flight plans. There are two of us who are partners in the plane. We have not been doing much flying recently, so we are looking for one or two more partners. That will be the subject of a separate forum post.
It is great to be part of this organization.
God Bless America
