Default Pink Floyd or VAF...

David Gilmour or Doug Reeves...

Who exactly are we talking about here:


“Well, I get up at about 7:15. I wake up some children. Make breakfast. Change a nappy. Take a kid to school. Strum a guitar. Doodle in my recording studio some of the time. If the weather's nice I might fly an airplane. It's hard to describe what I do, but I never seem to have enough time to do it.”



Just wondering.


Remember when you were young...

Joe

Go flying and put on some Floyd while your up there. The experience will make you "Comfortably Numb."

When I was in High School I remember some contest where the winner could "Learn to Fly" with Pink Floyd, then keep the airplane..! I never heard much more about it...

Feeling the love .


...and I think David Gilmour sleeps in a little later than me....and plays better guitar...and owns Fender Stratocaster serial #1.... Here are some of the planes he owned at one time.


He wins.

Most of my more memorable flights are related to the music I was listening to at the time. A recent flight of touch n goes at the home field featured the Who's "Won't get Fooled Again". Just by chance, I was taxiing back to my hangar as the song was ending. I pulled the mixture just as the last of the five most famous power chords in rock history reverberated in my headset and the prop came to a stop at the same time Keith Moon bashed out the final drum beats. It was just a perfect moment.

When we were river flyin, wire-hoppin kids we thought Johnny Winter was the ticket. Nowadays if I'm listening to music while I build it makes me want to stop & grab the telecaster so I build quiet & then play awhile.

Hi,

I had the pleasure of meeting Dave a while ago, during my years as a recording engineer. Even though I play the guitar and was curious about his recording techniques etc... we only talked airplanes. Me just having flown my Titan Tornado for the first time. Everyone else there wanted us to shut up about airplanes. Many did not know he flies. Steve Morse (also another fine guitar player) owns some nice airplanes.
