Some kind of cramped conditions you had...

Yup, not a lot of room.  Was a BIT more spacious (not much) in the aft cabin, where we did hoisting etc

AC is a CH124A (RCAF version of an H3).  Pic taken after a crew change on the deck of HMCS Halifax, I was the Det Comd.  I still use the clipboard for IL2 :)

When you downscale, as there is no real need for a gas guzzler..?

My old office, P-3C Orion, Electronic Warfare Operator (Anti-Surface Warfare Specialist). The picture is not of me. This is an official US Navy photo released to the public. If I ever brought a camera onboard, I'd be in Federal Prison.

My CFII also was a P-3 EWO. I asked him if he ever got sick in turbulence (while battling Florida thermals under the hood), to which he replied that flying 12h missions at low altitude basicly makes you barf the airsickness out of your system forever...

That was in 2016. Now he's also a DPE.

 

Man, I really need to go back to the US and mabe do the Commercial Ticket.

Just for the fun of it...

Right after completing complex and hi-performance endorsemnts on the C210 in 2016. What a sweet airplane!

I had just finished my IR and had a week to spare before going home again. Also did my tailwheel-endorsement a few weeks before that on a 1946 Taylorcraft.

Happy days...

Don't want to come here and sound rude, but why do You guys don't start a dedicated cat thread. I sure understand Your love for Your little friends but I for one have no interest in pets and every time this thread pops up I'm looking forward to see members of our community but instead there are most of the time cats...

Congrats

My wife and I met in Sept. 1 1990 married Sept. 2 2000. I guess in cold parts of the world metabolism is slower. We still get along nicely. This picture is taken on about 20 years into our marriage

Me and my first and only love this summer...

... and it all started in 1967 when we first met in Paris.

Well well well, I am probably one of the youngest members here in the community.... am I even allowed to post a picture of me here considering that I'm still a minor?

 

I would, but I'm not quite sure yet

Skiing without a helmet? Man, are you serious? - hey, please take care and think about it.
You have a little boy and a wife.

There are so many tragedies...
