Not modelling, but aviation nonetheless.
« on: November 20, 2017, 10:50:09 PM »
Here's the Cashman Equipment Company plane. It's a Learjet 75. I got a full run down and pre-flight inspection with our company pilot today. He's helping with what he can while I get my private pilots license.
Our Co-pilot is an instructor at Desert Aviation, so we'll look at what aircraft is available to go up in. Gotta log some hours!

Very Cool - This looks very similar to the one the JCT have parked at their "Manor"

C'mon, Bob's...I've seen the JCT's company plane. It's a 777, and it's much too big for the facilities at JCT Manor's grass strip. I'm sure there will be some improvements made to the runway to correct that situation, but it is being held up with permitting. The xmt wants to import some endangered toads, but JCT's lawyers are digging in their heels and not giving up easily.  D>K Steve

If I'm ever fortunate enough to fly to the JCT's compound, it'll need to be in something a little more conservative in the cost per hour department. Perhaps a piper Cub or Husky A-1C would be fitting for a grass landing? Will I need some sort of aesthetic waiver if I have a less than optimum appearing aircraft?

"Great" Dane,

Get yourself a seaplane. I've never meet a pilot yet, no matter what they fly, that didn't wish they had seaplane time or a rating.

Club up with 4 other guys and you could get it done.

A suggestion.
