Final Approach
Confirmed. Maybe he took lessons at one point but never got so much as a student pilot certificate.No listings for any Ryssdal in the pilot database.

That explains a lot.
I know you're joking, but it was decidedly weird that the Las Vegas shooter and Cirrus owner seems to give absolutely no indications something like that was brewing.
Thanks for posting that. I remembered that site, but couldn't find it.
From Flying magazine, March 1964:Beat me to that one...But I’ll add Johnny Carson to the list
Bill Shatner also learned to fly during while The Original Series was in production, but I'm not sure he ever got his private license. One of the very early issues of Private Pilot magazine in 1969 had an article entitled "Captain Kirk and The Cardinal," a pilot report on the new C-177A Cardinal through the eyes of newbie pilot Shatner.
That’s like saying Chuck Yeager had a pilot license.Pancho Barnes.
As for the R being rand and listing price as 34 million rand being eq to 2.38 U S dollars, I don't think the math is accurate...
I understand that he snapped when he saw the bill for his annual....
As for the R being rand and listing price as 34 million rand being eq to 2.38 U S dollars, I don't think the math is accurate. I assume Pitt would buy a first class Spitfire if he bought one, and $2.3 U S is low, the market price of a good flying one is going to be a $million more , around 3 at least more likely 3.4 $millon in U S dollars. That is my opinion for what it is worth. You do have somewhat limited market from a project or a build up which is not really a factory Spitfire, at the bottom end, but I doubt if less than $2 million U S, to a rare model like a Mk V with some actual combat history and in first class show and flying condition of which the price is really up there perhaps $4 million. Santa does bring surprises, but I don't think anyone on this forum has been a good enough boy.
Prices of the rare and wonderful do get up there to the stratosphere. I am told by a source I believe that the Canadians turned down a legimate and right now offer of $6 million cash for their Lancaster at Oshkosh a few years back.
It not in the class of the Ferrari 250 GTO that sold for $44 million.
I don’t think Neal Boortz has been mentioned yet. He often spoke of his Mooney on his show.
In case anyone wasn't aware, quite a few of today's celebrity pilots are regulars on PoA. They post under pseudonyms, though, like @Everskyward , @James311 , @FastEddieB , @SixPapaCharlie , and @Ryan F. among others. It's not too hard to figure out their real identities, but please respect their privacy and don't use their real names.

Dorn did have that clause in his contract during Star Trek.Can you imagine that today. They'd probably have a clause in his contract prohibiting him from participating in such "dangerous" pastimes, LOL
