I sing soprano but I'm more of a second soprano or mezzo, I guess. Perhaps we can find a piano bar where we can do some singing sometime. =)

[Conspiracy Guy]

It's probably him.

By the way, I got my flight instruction for Christmas. If you see a small aircraft fling upside down over your home, wave!

[Gabz]

The insane b*st*rds have gone over the edge.

Yes they have. OTOH, what is their probable cause to find out if you have over $60.00 in your car. If they are camping out in Kentucky watching who buys what and then following you across the state liine the Kentucky authorities might have something to say about that.

There have been lots of stories over the years about cops in one state arresting cops or revenue folks from other states for doing that.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Great! When do you start? What type trainer are they using?

[international american]

I will start in Feb. I know the trainer socially. She taught two of my frinds to fly.She has been an instructor for 14-15 years for small aircraft. I havent recieved the final papers yet. I am going to see her on monday.

[Conspiracy Guy]

By trainer I was talking Aircraft Type.. I remember Sherry.

Holey moley!!!!!!

I knew flying lessons were expensive - but I didn't realize just how much.

[international american]

I am getting a break on the total cost. It is at Camarillo Ca. Airport.

[international american]

Yep:)

[Conspiracy Guy]

Cessna 172 is a bitch to land solo. It floats and floats and floats. I spent $4,000 total but that was a Cessna 152 and it was several years ago.

[Conspiracy Guy]

What is Camarillo near?

[international american]

In between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara....Near the Pt. Mugu Navy base.

[international american]

"Cessna 172 is a bitch to land solo. It floats and floats and floats. "

That is what I hear:)

[Conspiracy Guy]

Hint. Take your lessons as close together as possible. You'll learn and retain quicker. I finished with 42 hours over a 4 month period. I knew people who took 80 plus hours because they'd go every 2 or 3 weeks.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I like 3 people and a lot of gas in 172.

[international american]

Thanks for the tip. Camarillo is only 10 miles from my house, so it is convienient.

[MeekOneGOP]

Let me get my Puff List in here. In case we missed anyone.

Howdy ! Happy Kwanzaa Boxing Day !

A buddy of mine has a 152 for sale. I think he wants 45000. It is not listed with a broker.
