    So, I'm the PlaneGuy,

    I live, sleep, eat airplanes. I have been an airport bum (employed) for 20 years. I have been selling airplanes for the last 10 yrs.

    5200+/- hours all single engine.

    I work for a Cessna dealer now, but I can attempt to be non-bias if asked questions.

    I'm a car buff.

    I autocross, road coarse and drag race my car... Basically beat the .. out of it.

    So hello.

    I enjoyed McGoo, but I liked Travis a whole lot better. Are you in the AMXS? I have a good buddy who's a KC-10 Pro-Super

    No, I'm in the MXS. Who's your buddy? I probably know him. Is it Hobbs? He's been there forever. Never been to Travis, I don't want to go, for me it would be a nightmare.

    I'm over here from F-chat too. I'm not a pilot but have an aviation career. I started My ATC at MKG in 1987 then CLE tower and approach 91-98, CVG tower and approach 98-08 now at C90 (ord tracon) til I retire. I like to keep up with the pilot/ATC issues and maybe can add a different perspective to some topics.

    I'm Aaron.

    I've been a plane/car buff since before I could walk!

    My dad was a multi/instrument rated pilot for about 15 years before I was born, and I wanted to follow in his foot steps, only a step forward and make a career out of it.

    I was fortunate enough to get in touch with a family friend who had a Cessna 172 when I was about 13, and he showed me the "ropes" so to speak. I'm color blind, and he had the control tower point the light gun at me, and I couldn't tell the difference between white and green. It crushed any piloting dreams I have/had.. but I continue to look to the skies for every prop/turbo prop/jet engine I hear and can only dream!!
