VectorBoy 0 #2 December 23, 2006 Oh boy did I!! Close to a hundred overall. Most of them I still have video of. Did a handful of FFCs for Chuck and Lou at WFFC before the BMI program got steriods. Did a bunch for Matter when the M2 came to town. Rarely do them now as there is a good selection of respectable, mild mannered young instructors available. But if someone wanted one I would not hesitate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moonglo 0 #5 December 27, 2006 Self taught and sent a bunch of friends off to do solo first flights in my suit before I had the jump #s to get my rating. My first flight class has changed very little from what I taught then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
