If you are flying out of a private strip covering the N number would not be a problem.

I didn't know that you went to flight school? What did you learn to fly?

Yeah, I guess it hasn't come up... Went to a 141 flight school for two years!

Got Commercial Single & Multi Engine Land and CFI...

Started flight instructing to build hours... had about 600 hours... Career just got diverted in the attempt to actually make a living. Kept getting other jobs for the winters when I couldn't fly much, and started making more money there. Tried to go back a couple times, but I ended up letting it go. Haven't flown for a couple years now...

Flight school (Community College in Eastern WA) used all Beechcraft: Sundowners for primary, Debonair for complex, Travelair for multi. hehehe - They also had a Beaver on wheels for taildragger time. What a fun rumbling rattletrap that thing was.

Favorite all time planes flown are the Piper Saratoga (powerful fast cigar looking single 6 seater) that I used to rent and a little Grumman two-seater with a sliding canopy top that felt like a little fighter to me ;~D.

Makes me sad when I think about it. Flight school was absolutely the best time of my life. Had a great bunch of friends that I met there... They all went to Alaska to build time and I lost them. I imagine a couple of them have airline jobs by now.
