I don't know how to post a video her on the Pilot Group, so I'll put it on my own page.

Excellent Phil. You've already done a lot at such a young age.

3, actually. At 17 I think I can probably say that I'm the most novice pilot here. I've since gone solo on the motoglider pictured, a couple of unpowered gliders and the grob Tutor (tiny machine, but at least it's powerful enough for cuban 8's!) Best part is, they've all been on RAF scholarships so it hasn't cost me a penny.

Phil...and that was how many years ago?

This was my first time at the controls. I was 14.
Nice one for setting up the group. There really is nothing else quite like being up there.

Tying up the bird for a day after fighting fires in Scott Valley, CA in the Fall of 2008.

Sweet, I was hoping this group would pop up. Hey Bob, I have a suggestion for the group motto that I heard while I was deployed. I attached it to every email I sent out and got a lot of comments on it: "Never ask a man if he's a pilot. If he his, he'll tell you. If he's not, you'll only embarrass him."
