Pilots and Tech-Diving

[Plane Trouble]

Are there any professional pilots (airline, corporate) on the forum who are also actively engaged in technical diving. Technical diving is something I am interested but it seems illusive as to how to functionally fit this into a active flying lifestyle. If you are a career pilot who technically dives I'd like to discuss some issues with you.

PM swadiver. He flies for ....wait for it....SouthWest Airlines. It's still easier to catch him on RBW. I'll let him know you are looking for advice over here.

What's your question JBH? I'm sure you'd probably get helpful responses from the non-flying community here. I'm a complete neophyte tech diver having just begun AN/DP. I'm also a professional pilot (airline). What is it you're looking for?

I'll teach you the secret handshake as soon as you tell me what is written on Wilbur and Orvilles collar or on the leading edge of the Wright Flyer.

Bonus Question: What pilot certificate number did Orville have?

I hope that I am remembering this correctly, High School was a couple of years ago.

Underneath the wing fabric was found the manufactures name "Browns" and "Wilbur Wright".

It also had an address or something , but I can't remember it exactly (Obviously N. C. though)

It was number "1", but now it is your turn. Who issued it and in what year?

My history might be off a bit but Orville did not have a pilot certificate when he took to flight at Kitty Hawk.
He did receive an honorary license from the Aero Club of America as #4 and Glenn Curtiss had #1.

If you have him at #1 do you have a reference?

Clues to the original question can be found in the picture below.
