Ossie,

(gidday Ken!)

I've got a few pics and iPhone video clips of you doing the start-up / early taxiing part of "A flying instructor, and spend a bit of time upside down teaching/showing others the fun part of aviation...." and one day you're going to have to add me to your list of "others", but in the meantime Jim's been doing the same to me in the Citabria's. Had a bit of a break over xmas etc but will be back out there to YSCN soon.

Default Come On Man!!

There are a lot of people missing from this thread.

Come on guys/girls, lay it on the line and tell us what "fuels" your RV flying/building fun.

We fill warehouses with Material handling equipment, (Conveyor systems) boring, but someone has to do it. Here is a time elapsed video of a project my company did.

My day job has to do with flying the wingless heavy iron (petrochemical refinery)...
Well I used to fly it years ago. I kept screwing up so they promoted me to a desk job. Now I manage the pilots.



A recent addition to the complex going up, both pictures taken were from the RV.

Like with some of you,
pics of the inside are a no, no... sorry.





second job...

Cool! A glass cockpit! I got to drive one of these back and forth about 50 feet one time. I drove Trackmobiles a lot back in the day...

I write software for a very small software consulting company. The smaller the company, the more you do, right? I'm also the project manager, graphic designer, database gal, quality assurance and tech support. Most of the time, it runs pretty smoothly (knock on wood) and I can spend my evenings in the shop working on the -10.

Default Cake Boss

Short version:
Immigrated from Switzerland in 1980, hoping to become a pilot.
I did, but the Baking/Pastry chef profession always paid for the flying.
In other words, I always made a lot more dough in the baking business.
I spent most of my spare time in my twenties flying skydivers and eventually
decided to keep flying as a hobby and pursue a business opportunity in baking.
It's been a great ride for my family and I wouldn't have it any other way.
