Aerobatic Forum

What I ment is that unlike the airlines and 135 jobs its not like 300 hours of aerobatic flying qualfies you to be a airshow pilot. Its so different from person to person its hard to really tell someone how to make it. Its really a everyone takes their own path deal. I flew with greg koontz at his flying farm and his advice when asked how to become a airshow performer was this, buy your own plane, put as much gas into as you can afford, than try and convince someone else that your good enough to fly in their show. My point was that its not a clear cut path and really it just something that you have to figure out on your own. The best advice for anyone wanting to become a airshow pilot is find a current airshow pilot to mentor you along the way. I was lucky enough that my dad is childhood friends with Tim Weber who flies the Gieco extra 300 and he has helped me try to break into this business but its a long hard process. I think they fact that it cost alot of money is good because that is a barriar to everyone except those who really want it that bad which makes airshow flying so fun.

Wow you're lucky to have flown with him and to know Timmy. I met him at the Offutt AFB show when I was working ground crew for Matt Younkin.

I figured that was your point, I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page.

I think that with us knowing who we do, we might could get somebody to come help keep the information straight.
 
So... anyone wanna explain the nay votes?

33% of the forum says no but no one has said why...
 
I voted no!

But I would vote 'no' whenever anyone were to introduce the addition of yet another forum. So I have nothing against any of the proposed forums, such as aerobatic, but I feel that there gets to be a point at which a site has too many forums. IMO, JC passed into this realm years ago. I used to go through and look at all the forums that interested me individually, which was every forum, but there got to be too many forums, which made checking each forum individually tedious. And at this point I became a 'New Posts' button abuser/addict as the 'New Posts' button works as an excellent aggregator of threads for when I check in 745 times a day.

I'm on this site because I love aviation, not because I belong to a certain subset of aviation. Nearly every forum on this site has something that interests me and likely others, so why further break things up if we read it all? Throw them all in the general topics. More exposure, more readers, more contributors, more learning.
 
I agree with the above. The old saying is stick to what you know. That applies here. There are plenty of other aerobatic forums out there that we dont need to try to start our own. This website is good for people looking to make a career flying airlines and to a point frieght. Keep it focused there. Once you stretch yourself too thin the purpose of the sight starts to fade.
