The moral seems to be: "Don't freak out now. You can do that later. Fly the airplane." Great story!!!!

Pete Michaud, a pilot instructor for the Federal Aviation Administration

Instructor? HA! How about harasser?

Funny because that was the same thing I first thought about after reading the article.

"Traumahawk"

 

[scramjet]

That's great! I wish all incidents ended like that!

 

[mikecweb]

I'll postpone my decision for 1 year or less.

Oh and good job or something like that.

That's what the article said. Interesting, huh?

I was wondering when someone was going to say something about it being a "Traumahawk" . I get a magazine from the Pipers Owner's Society and last month they had an article about the Tomahawk...it really sang the praises, let me tell you. Seeing the "Centerfold" kinda cracked me up though, it was painted up like a Blue Angel. Real sharp looking, but still a Tomahawk!

Here is a story about the "Blue Angel" Tomahawk. Was/is owned by a DJ (at the time) up in OKC.

Daley said she would like to fly the Space Shuttle or be a commercial airline pilot.

Thats a coincidence because I understand that you need a good amount of space shuttle time to be a commercial airline pilot in this economy!

In Illinois it's 17 to penetrate, 18 to videotape.

small world, i graduated from Georgetown, and took that same aviation class, which i think is great for getting students introduced and interested in flying. I actually went on my first small airplane ride in a tomorock from pilot's choice.

That was only 5 years ago, man it doesn't take long to get jaded.

how come no one ever dreams of being a non- commercial airline pilot? Or a freight pilot for that matter. Its a lot easier, i just showed up with my student pilot certificate and they threw me in the van.

Good job for her. I was thinking the same thing about the Tomahawk...
