Things I like about Aviation (or in general..)

I thought of another one. I like during sunset or sunrise when the sun shines off of every street sigh on a certain highway, basically lighting up the route it takes.

One of the few good things about being up so damn early in the morning.

That's a great one - after 22 years I still feel the same way...In fact, I make my soccer teams take "Plane Breaks" when someone flies over.

that's great! My Father-In-Law worked on C-5's for a looong (now retired after 30+ years) time as an aeronautical engineer for the air force. He has been in and on every square inch of the plane. I live under the approach path to Kelly AFB (I know it's called Lackland now, I just refuse to say it ;-)) Every time he his here, doesn't matter what he is doing when a C5 passes over he has to stop and watch it, until it is out of site! Of course I'm standing there cursing HeyEng for making noise over my house....:laff:
 
I like watching people jump out of my airplane! It happens all the time. I always find it amusing that I take off with passengers and land without them.

I like watching the sunset on the last load of the day and having the feeling of loving what I am doing.

I love when I am flying that I am not stuck in the office at a computer for 10 hrs a day.
 
I once watched an ESPN interview with a college football coach who had retired, then come out of retirement to coach again. The coach related that he was completely consumed by football. He could come off of a week of long, frustrating hours of coaching, not wanting to be anywhere near the gridiron or a football, and yet he'd finding himself thinking about.... football.

I like that I have that same passion for something in this life. I like that that something is flying.

I like old freight haulers with worn paint and bleak interiors because it reminds me of the guys/girls that proved their mettle in the ice and snow of the Northeast, and the ravaging thunderstorms of the Great Plains. And if they can do it, so can we.
 
I like the fact that I've been able to build 30 hours at cost of $1400 (That's 30 on the hobbs, we pay on the tach) with my C150 partnership when it would've cost me $3450 if I were renting the same Skyhawks I trained in.
 
I like that I can bump this thread and a few other folks always pick up on it.

... and that flight benefits let you turn a few days off into a globe-spanning adventure.

I'm going surfing, and it is going to be awesome.

I live in Dallas. Thanks to flight bennies, "Day trips to go surfing" is actually something I can make happen.

I like this. Alot.
 
I'll bite. I like that when I got home after a long red eye this morning, I bumped into a random JC'er I knew.

Sorry I had to take off in a hurry, but you know who you are. On-on, wanker ;)
