In the announcement section, Reece Anderson and others mentioned sage advice from former or first flight instructors, so . . .
How many steelers have one FAA ticket or another? I'm guessing there are more than a few. To start it up, I have Comm/Inst, ASEL. circa 300 hrs.

| Soloed in 1971 in Lewisburg VA. Owned a C172 and a C177RG which I sold upon retiring in 1997. Have inst rating and over 2200hrs. Fly now with a friend who owns a beach A36 with air-conditioning,turboed.weather uplink (which is better than Radar as it shows the weather left,right and behind the plane) with moving map,and all the NavCom stuff available. Also fly Microsoft's Simulator for fun when not playing my steel. |

| Retired Coast Guard helicopter pilot, 5500 hrs in Jet Rangers, Hueys, Sikorsky H-3's and Sikorsky H-60's. Also have ATP w/S-61 type rating although I haven't flown commercially. Pedal steel seemed like a natural transition since helicopter flying continually involves both hands and both feet to keep all of those moving parts going in the same direction! |

Ground school & 2 stick hours. Probably never get ticket due to eyeballs. Sat in the left front seat of a C5-A Hercules though.

At least you can't suffer vertigo from steelin' (or maybe you can?)  [This message was edited by Ray Minich on 01 December 2004 at 01:58 PM.] |

Solo 1954,checked out in,150,170 180,J3, Super Cub,Stinson Wagon, Champ,Cherokee,have stick time in a 310.
I loved it when I did it but I like
RC flying better, flew meets all over the south east. Compitition flying is my meat.
Our club did the air show in Pensacola Fl. in 1970, I flew the Biplane against Snoopy as the red barron in that show, it was a real successfull outing, the people loved it. Bill and Corky Fornoff was the stunt Pilots and he said he really liked the Club part of the show. Also the Flying Professor in the J3 Cub.
