Yes, having performed dozens yourself it's understandable the amount of skill involved. [rofl]

j/k dude... it's just the way you said it, made it sound like you thought you were a seasoned pilot or something taking from experience.

Well, I do have SOME flight experience.. [thumbup]

As odd as it sounds, I was qualified to fly solo before I was licenced to drive; I first flew a Schweizer SGS 2-33, and later flew a LET L-23. Thankfully, I have never landed on water, though the ground school classes gave a good impression of how hard it is. Though I can say that landing with only one main wheel and no engine is certainly no field trip either..

And if you were wondering, I ran out of money before I could get a full pilots license.. Something I hope to still correct later in life. Though, interestingly enough, my student license was signed and given to me by a man whose first license was signed by Orville Wright (Al Santilli).
