joshtuckerHaven't been on for a while. Lots of stuff going on in life. Moving to FL for a new job in disney world as an audio guy. So I'm having to put the helicopter dream on hold for a while. This should be fun. Merry Christmas to all!
joshtuckerriding a bike 4 miles in 110+ degree heat is not fun, but I hope it's helping with the weight loss.

Low (like almost no) carbs, lots of water and fresh vegetables. Good luck!

I'll try to remember that when u start my training. Maybe I'll shoot start around this time next year. Just after the monsoon rampage.

I did my private training part-time, started in October, and hadn't finished by June. I took the summer off and finished the following year. Back then, I didn't know I'd get hooked on this flying thing. Wish I'd started earlier and finished faster.

Flight Experience
I have always loved helicopters since i was a kid. We lived close to a hospital that would always have helicopters landing and taking off (not to say that it was a good thing, as a child of 6 i didn't know any better). But this last year I was at an air show providing the PA system and running sound (I'm a audio engineer by trade) and rekindled my love for the rotocraft. I now want to become a pilot and I hoping to start my training within the next 6 months to a Year, I need to lose some weight first
Favorite Aircraft
Bell 206, 407

Thanks. I've been flying mosquito control for about 25 years, so I know quite a few from association gatherings and neighboring programs.

Jen Boyer is reporting for us on pending helicopter noise legislation in L.A. Note that PHPA (the California pilot's association, not the union) is holding its annual membership meeting this Saturday, Aug. 20.

Karl Lagerfeld to design VIP helicopters for AgustaWestland. http://bit.ly/HlAVd2 So in addition to engine air particle separators, we should expect the AW139 to have perfume atomizers? The all weather covers will be a tasteful quilted black leather? Seats upholstered in Chanel tweed? What do VIPs want in an interior?

I have another R44 time-building flight coming up at the end of April: Phoenix, AZ to Wenatchee, WA. It's 10-14 hours, depending on route. I need $300/hour to cover costs. You must have an R44 endorsement and be legal to carry passengers (me). If you're interested contact me through Flying M Air, http://www.flyingmair.com/
