What do you do to pay for your flying addiction?

[Bob Axsom]

No help needed but you can start your own activity. The startup requirements are extensive and the activity has very limited long term prospects. Good luck, exercise and avoiding saturated fat are helpful attributes.

It's a good gig.

I'm a software (and a little bit of hardware) geek at a gene sequencing company. My coworkers get to have the fun work though - they are constantly creating little custom test creatures.

Lookin' good. In the days gone by I had a good one too:

Airline pilot, married with two little ones, so I have little
time or money. When I first told my wife that I wanted
to build a -7, I was planning on waiting a few years to
start... But after a trip to a local airshow she suggested
I begin now, so then in a "few years" I'd be that much
farther ahead. I just love her...

I am an Electronic Engineer at a High Energy Physics Research Laboratory. Started building my -6A back about eight years ago! (very slow build) Had the usual kids, college, weddings, etc. to deal with. Just bought the engine last week so I'm finally in the home stretch. I have a great wife who is a former Assistant Manager at a hardware store. (Comes in handy when I'm looking for something and she'll say "its probably in the such and so aisle....) She has helped set rivets and suppled both the physical and mental help!
Here's the link to the lab. where I work to support the plane!

I'm a Tech Support Rep for an aerospace engine manufacturing company. Been doing it for 21 years and will most likely retire from the same company in 7 years or so. Seven years is how long it took to build my RV6 by the way. I keep weekends open to fly, but may work part time a couple of nights a week at the local Air Force Base Aero Club, helping to maintain the C172 fleet.

[AntiGravity]

Network Engineer / IT Security Specialist / Exchange Specialist / Disaster Recovery Consultant / Technical Designer, etc, etc. Or any other stupid title that our CEO dreams up when talking to a customer. I'm not sure he knows *what* I do (which is probably just as well ).

I don't fly yet, but go and instruct skydiving at the weekends to get my fix.

I fully expect to stop skydiving as I near the end of the RV build, but that won't be for a few years yet; especially since I just spent a hooge amount of $$$ on air conditioning in the house for wifey Oh, and a new server and network cabling; yeah, I'm still a geek...
