Hitting my wash coming out of a loop! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The perfect 'wheeler' on a grass strip at dusk /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Actually Tom, flying at 15-20 feet is freakin' hard work. It's a hoot for sure but I've usually been wringing wet with sweat at the end of the low level flight.
Doug, love your work! Shoot stuff and drop bombs indeed.

If specified, this will replace the title that
Alaska ... probably end up dead in a year or two but damn bush flying just seems more and more attractive ... or Forest Service work (i.e. forest fires) which if I'm extremely lucky I may have an opportunity at doing in a year or two – not bombing (I'm not that crazy) but lead plane/logistics type stuff.
I dunno I'm looking at any, all and every option and the more "unique" roles in flying seem to be taking up more and more of my thought processes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I'm with you on that one. The only time I've been able to do this was when I flew into MSP on my first IFR cross country. It was crazy busy, but so much fun. Nothing like having 3 A320s hold short for a Piper Warrior
. I also enjoy night flying, though I haven't had a chance to do night IFR in a busy environment. I must say though that so far I'm not a big fan of night IFR because all of my IFR has been done wearing a hood. But night VFR is by far my favorite kind of flying I've done yet. So peacefull and calm. And a lot of the time in North Dakota at night you can see the northern lights.
Oh yeah, and for a while I thought that cloud seeding would be really cool. Flying through thunderstorms in light aircraft...I even took a course in 'weather modification'. After learning more than I ever cared to know about the microphycis of clouds I decided that I didn't want to take the second course.

I'd love to drop bombs and shoot stuff.

Bombs/rockets/gun on time, on target, and with no frat when the ground troops are under fire and yelling at you for support. Even better when they remember you by voice 2 weeks later and pull you aside to give some thanks.
Could've done without the trophy, though.

Low and Slow, Preferably right at sunset! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I know the grass is always greener, but I'd still very much like to be a F/A-18 pilot (like Capt. Kegley!) or a B1-B pilot on a low-level mission.
One can only spend so many hours staring out of the window listening to the captain yammering about his last bowel movement before you start wondering what it's like to fly a high performance aircraft in a high threat environment.

You wouldn't just be talking about BMs in a high-threat environment...I'll search for it, but there's a recording of an F-16 pilot apprising ATC of an "incident" in his flight suit somewhere on the internet.
