MrWally Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 So a month back or so my father (a former pilot) was at an air show and he meant this man named Arnie, a proud owner of what's called a "Breezy." So today, my father drove me down to this little airport about 20 minuntes away, and I was given the one in a lifetime chance of riding in this absolutely incredible aircraft. I brought my camera Pictures: (That's obviously not me in there, that's just Arnie) Note the amazing lack of canopy, floor, and safety straps
Pho3nix Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 That's friggin' cool I'd probably be too afraid to fly that
Nerd_Annhilator Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Damn I wish I could do that Looks like a ****load of fun
MrWally Posted September 2, 2006 Author Posted September 2, 2006 Oh it was amazing. The moment I save up enough money, I'm going to start working for my Pilot's Liscense.
TiE23 Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 I have this guy at school who got his pilot's liscense before he got his driver's license. Wally you lucky SOB!
Commander Obi-Wan Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 That's pretty sweet. I'd try it. Though, I still have to get my Learner's Drivers License.
jebbers Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 i didnt notice the difference at first there coupes. but i got it now!
MrWally Posted September 3, 2006 Author Posted September 3, 2006 OMG ! That does look dangerous.... Very clever there coupes I actually found out, that while I was getting pictures of the guys in the Cub (the yellow plane) there were taking pictures of me! *happiness* I'll post those up tomorrow. And in all honesty, I wasn't able to fly this plane (although I could...to an extent) because it's considered an "experiemental aircraft" However, for my 13th birthday I was taken over to Hinkley airfield and I DID get to fly, it was one of the greatest times of my life. Pictures soon EDIT: Oh and yeah, you can get a pilot's license as young as fourteen
RoxStar Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 lol, malebox *running in the nineties* But seriously, that ****'s ridiculous!
Darth Andrew Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 .... That thing can actually fly? Looks fun, otherwise.
MrWally Posted September 3, 2006 Author Posted September 3, 2006 The man that was piloting the airplane has been flying them since the 70s. And he figures he goes up 300~400 times a year, therefore... that's over 10,000 rides basically. O_O
BongoBob Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 F***in sweet wally. Get your pilots license Wally, you'll be able to score chicks left and right. Well, as long as you've got a plane
MrWally Posted September 3, 2006 Author Posted September 3, 2006 What I REALLY wanna get is a motorized parasail. It's basically this propeller that you strap to your back, and has it's own mini engine and everything thing, and a parachute that you wear. So all it takes is about a 10 foot run and bam, your flying through the air at 30 mph. Coolest thing ever! And you don't need a license. However, they cost upwards to 4000 dollars
