I am a college student and a student pilot (I solo'd last week) so this job is perfect for a young guy like me!

Hmmmm.... A "Vans" guy, working at Glassair, and just solo'd in a Cessna. There are some serious issues here!

This is what I drove for over 30 years. Well not just this one, there were others.
Then I retired and I Golf as much as possible. View of the golf course from my back yard.
This golf course that I belong to is adjacent to the Dayton Valley Airpark here in Dayton. It is hard to concentrate on a 20" putt when there is an RV in the pattern, I seem to always look up.
Since joining here I found out that I have Paul Dye to thank for the distraction.

I sit at work and watch YouTube all day ...
... so it continues showing funny cat videos and RV build videos to people all over the world. It's an amazing job.
As a bonus, my view out of the office window includes departure path for heavies taking off runways 28L and 28R at SFO

A pilot friend of mine from Alaska has retired down your way Gary.
She became commander of the Alaska State Troopers... after being told she was too short to fly seaplanes...
Motivational speaker now on ethics... might give her an RV ride..

What a great thread, I finally went and read the OP and the rules of the thread so I think I have an appropriate story and picture.
I used to turn our tax money into hydrocarbons in extremely satisfying and fun ways, but gave it all up to become a Stay At Home Dad.
But now that the last child is almost out of the nest, I guess I should call myself retired. So my day job is in fact occasionally sitting in a hangar drinking a beer.
Sometimes, it transforms to a night job: I needed to get night current, as well as evaluate my leading edge landing light installation tonight.
So I hit the runway three times at the appropriate hour, and then had 45 minutes to kill before Son Number One's indoor Lacrosse games started a few minutes away from the airport.
I walked over to the Gourmet Gas Station and bought a pint of brew, then back to the hangar to try a second iteration on the aim point for the landing light:
I really like this job.

Hi everyone. I'm brand new to the forums, but I am enjoying them so far. I haven't flown a piston single since 2008.
These days I am sitting around waiting on these guys:
Or walking past scenes like this:
Occasionally getting up way too early:
Usually it is worth it though:
The real hurdle I face is putting the money together to get into an RV-7A without having to part with too many toys, but I have a feeling the little bass boat is going to get the axe now that I've caught the bug again. I am living in East Tennessee these days, and want to get back into GA. I finally renewed my EAA membership.

Helped build it
Hey, I helped build the Abe Lincoln, in my younger days. I was there when they laid the keel.
