Wanted: Pilots with buckets of experience

[Ken Ibold]

I'm looking for someone with a boatload of experience flying both 121 and fractionals, who would be willing and able to give a presentation to a bunch of airport engineers that would focus on airport design issues from a pilot's point of view. Preferably this person could be in/around Jacksonville, Chicago or Denver for a 1/2 hour to 45-minute "learning lunch" presentation to our aviation program, which is about 175 engineers, planners and architects who specialize in airport development. International flying experience a plus. Sorry, no compensation other than a free lunch and the knowledge that you'd be doing your part to make airports work better.

How about, Dubuque?

How much is buckets of experience? I've got 3,000-ish hrs of 121 and I'm in training for a fractional. I may not meet your quals, but I can ask around about some people who would.

Matt: Perhaps 1000 hours = 1 bucket. So in your case, you'd have 3+ buckets, which would meet Ken's initially stated requirement. At 1300 hours, I'd only have 1.2 buckets, which I believe falls short (not to mention no 135/121/fractional experience, just international).

Free lunch? I think that should attract about any pilots out there!

I have somewhat (okay, much) less than a single bucket, and I have zero experience as a 121 pilot, but I live in Chicago.
So, if a room full of engineers wants to hear about the complexities and challenges of navigating a 172 around the surface of not-too-busy class D airports and/or tiny uncontrolled fields in Southern Wisconsin, I'm your man.

I'm not experienced at all, but I'd offer up one thing:

Make sure there's a place parents can take their kids and watch planes.

I went to watch by myself as a kid.
