Hello newbie here

3 years 3 months ago #706560 by Pilotshark
So I am a newbie and not really sure where to post, so I thought I give this a try :-)

Just wanted to say Hello.

So after so many years of doing this or that and life itself getting in my way, I am now at the point where just slowing down and doing things I have put off I have concluded that its time to become creative and do what I want.
Thanks for giving me a place to get started. :-)

Well, I am a private pilot, and while flying with a friend, we flew over a pack of sharks swimming around. I mention something about I like sharks, he then, said well, your call sign should be Pilotshark, so it has become my call sign ever since, now about 20 years.

Small single-engine land types, but now I think more in lines  Lite Sport- experimental home build. Kit planes etc...
If you are thinking of flying, you should check into the Lite sports pilot license its about haft the cost, and you can get what they call Basic Med, which means you see your own doctor and don`t have to go through the hassle of getting an actually FAA medical.
