I thought it might be fun to see some real pictures of who we are and what we fly and have flown in real-life.

If the moderators object to this sort of thing, no problem.

I have flown and have been a passenger in so many different types of aircraft that I can hardly count them.

Here are 2 scanned compilations, the quality might suffer a bit from re-sizing.

The 1st one is of the Bell 206 Jet Rangers that we flew in 1997 during helicopter rides at the North Georgia Mountain Fair in Hiawassee. Me in the cockpit of a Bell 212 during operations with the US Forest Service wildfire aerial suppresion season in West Texas, 1998. My sister and I next to our Pilatus P-3, the "Swiss Miss" as well as a pic of us together at a recent holiday gathering at home in Montana.

The 2nd scan shows me in front of the Harbour Air floatplane base in Vancouver back in 2002, a very old Polaroid of me just after my first Glider flight in North Carolina around age 12. And 2 pics of the P-3 - One with my Brother before a flight Kalispell, Montana and another of myself during a break at the EAA airshow in Arlington, Washington a few years ago.

Cheers! Mike :rapture:

My avatar is me and my two dogs. The Eskie is Misty and the "half Beagle and half everything else" is Belle. Here's the pic I got the avatar from...
 
Here's me, and two aircraft types I've spent some time in: SP-2E (P2V-5) Neptune, and C-118B. Was in a reserve VP (patrol) squadron as a young lad. Later on during Vietnam I made many a trip back and forth between San Diego and Alameda as a passenger in the old C-118's.
 
Y'all watch out for Pointy, he be an Alien poised as a Cajun!

Hiking Camel Back Trail, one of the many bike trails along the Dan River at Anglers' Park in Danville, VA. There are over 18 miles of trails altogether.

Yeah she don't look like that any more though. She's actually an N2S-5, so the USAAC markings were not correct. She's now being restored to her former USN markings by her new owner at Black Barn Aviation in Norfolk. Lovely aeroplane though, really solid and flies very well.

I'm now involved with a PT-19 Cornell, but I'll always have a soft spot for the Stearman. :)
 
You can see my right foot in my avatar. That's all I'm willing to show ya'll. :costumes:

I'm normally the one behind the camera, so very few of me, but this was taken at a recent conference in Cologne.
