    A question for flyers out there: Do you have more fun flying Jet Aircraft or flying Prop Aircraft?

    More fun? Flying an open cockpit biplane or a helicopter are about the most fun things in aviation.

    However, on a daily basis, I definitely prefer to fly jets.

    Ahhh, there's nothing quite as nice as flying your J-3 on a lazy summer morning with the door open and your right leg hanging out in the breeze.

    Again there is something to be said about the kick in the ass you get when you wind up a jet turbine and release the brakes.

    Yes!,
    ....... but it depends on whether I want to get somewhere,
    or enjoy the flying ;)

    Since I have never been the PIC of a jet i can't compare anything. I have ridden in a big jet on test flights and passenger flights. So, I get my kicks out of an open cockpit, an uncowled engine , and the freedom to do what I feel like doing. I know that flying something like an F-16 or F-14 must be exhilarating but I can't afford one right now.

    Hey Switches,
    As for Financing an F-16...
    I know of a guy here in Joisey who will lend you the cash,
    with NO background, or financial or credit checking.... AND.....

    There's no worry about getting collection phone calls at dinnertime either, should you miss a few payments.

    His rates ?... average a mere 1% of the balance
    (....compounded hourly)

    He can offer these low rates because unlike BANKS, he doesn't have the high overhead of a big stone building, heavy Real Estate Taxes, and alot of tellers, and managers, with enormous cost health, and Dental plans.

    Don't worry that his accent is somewhat ethnic, after all isn't America the melting pot? and Beauty is only skin deep, so pay no mind to the facial scars, and bent, flattened nose of the loan associate, whom he affectionately refers to as Uncle Benny.
    ........They say he had an accident...some years ago.

    Just call 1-(800) 767-7276
