How 'bout an A&P license? Does that count? I can take off OK, but landing might be kind of iffy. 
Are there many diving pilots out there?

Well, there's one thing about flying - if you take off, you're ALWAYS going to land.

Yeah. It's that pitch, yaw, roll across the runway thing I haven't quite mastered.

Heh I still plainly remember my first crosswind landing. It was a greaser, not a bounce at all. However the second one is much more plain in my memory. Thankfully the gear was still attached, the props weren't bent, and the gear even still retracted the next time we took off.....
You know what they say: A good landing is one you walk away from; a great landing is one where you can use the airplane again!

Yep.
And its even better when you dont have to pay large amounts of money to the A&P so it can fly again.teknitroxdiver:

Diving for almost four years. Now a DM with no intent to be an instructor. Maybe it was too many autorotations with students who tried to kill me while a flight instructor. Maybe it is because I don't want to get tied down and just go diving for the sake of diving. Too old to consider it for a living.
One of the things I have noticed is that there is a high degree of variability in the way dive briefings are given. Nobody like to use a checklist, so things often get forgotten.

I just got home from a benefit auction for our local Shakespeare Festival. I bought my son a ride in a 1939 Stearman. It is a 17th birthday surprise so I have to keep it a secret till October. Man, I wish it wasn't so expensive, I wanted one too... Thinking of building a quarter scale version with a Quadra 42 engine.
