Hopefully I can get the pics to show. For all our SIGForum pilots, a Surefire A2 with yellow/green secondaries. This is an original version, only really used for a few months in AF. It has the incandescent bulb (spare included). Good for reading tail #s and in the cockpit (non-red light charts).

The rules are tell when you soloed and what you're flying now. I'll have the karmanator select on Cinco de Mayo.




(There's a bit more yellow than my iPhone would pick up)

I would like to play, please.

I first soloed in August 1964 (yeah, I really am that old!).

Now flying? Whatever my clients have; I am an instructor, specializing in Instrument training and / or Bonanza proficiency training, either transitioning to the Bonanza or recurrent training. Personal / family transportation is a Bonanza.

EDIT: I'm editing this, so as not to put a second post in a karma thread, I just wanted to add, some of you are flying some pretty cool equipment! I see a couple of first solos in T34s, and some are currently flying tail-wheel Cessnas, 170, 195, cool! Somebody else flying a TravelAir. The last multi-engine rating I instructed a trainee for, was in one of those. Long story, for another time, about the batshit crazy examiner who administered the test for the rating.

Wonderful Karma! Thank you for the opportunity

I solo'd June 6, 2008 in a Cessna 172.

Now flying? Currently I fly a Cessna 170 tailwheel and a Piper Pathfinder 235.

All the best.

Thanks for the kind gesture.

I solo'ed in a Beech T-34C in 1985 out of Milton, FL.

I've been flying continuously since 85, currently left seat in a 737.

Cool, I'm in!

I finally soloed on 27 Feb 2007, with the University of Alaska Professional Pilot Program. A 172S, I logged 4 solo crosswind landings at Merrill Field in Anchorage.

More significant for me was after I received my certificate, my first passenger was my Dad in the RV-6A we had built together (sort of, long story on the build). That was 13 May 2007 flying out of Lenhardt Airpark in Hubbard, Oregon.

I'm not really currently flying anything. Well, technically I'm flying a small UAS (that does require a license). I recently renewed my third class medical, and I've heard that a neighboring mission group will do BFR's for pilots and missionaries, and rent their 172 or 182 out to them as well. I'm trying to connect with them to knock out a BFR so I'm legal to fly again. (My medical and BFR expired last year).

I've been eying Comanche 260's for sale...

Do not include me. I am overrun with lights right now and they are mostly cheap as I have a tendency to lose track of them. But...great karma.

For informational purposes, 1991 and Capt. on a 767.

Thanks M-11 for doing this...

I soloed in 1988 at Montgomery Field in San Diego and currently co-own a C-172RG with a friend there.

Please include me in this great karma!

First solo was in a Citabria January 1978 at Brackett Field in SoCal; now flying the first (one of three!) LongEZ I built, a '91 Grumman Tiger and a 1953 C195

Pics from yesterday after completing a winter annual on the EZ >>

Generous karma. Please count me in too. Tx.

I'm in! I soloed in 1970 in a C-150, I'm almost as old as V-Tail. Here's where I learned to fly:

I took a long break and became a rusty pilot, but I'm now working on passing a BFR in a 152.

In please. I soloed May 3, 1981 at Buckley ANG base, Aurora CO, in a Cessna 152. I'm currently flying a Citation 560XL. I also do instructing on the side.

Nice game. Me likey. Thanks for the chance.

January 1991 T34C. Boeing 737's now.

Solo October 2015. Currently fly a C-182 and TFO in a Pilatus PC-12. Thanks for doing this.

Thank you for the opportunity, a very generous karma!

3/13/1987. These days primary wings are an Beech E95 Travel Air, with some instructing in a C182.

Cool seeing what you guys are flying.
My solo was in 2002 in a Cessna 150 from 45R, small airport north of Beaumont, TX.
Haven't flown in a few years & need to get back to it & finish my license.

Edit: Please don't include me, as I have not been actively flying for a few years.

Very generous of you, and I'd like to play as well.
>solo in June of 1984, in a Cessna 152, at the base Aero club McGuire AFB, New Jersey. Our ship (U.S.S. Forrestal, CV-59) was going thru an extensive overhaul at Philadelphia Naval shipyard.
>currently flying an Airbus A-319/320/321 for a large air-carrier based out of Atlanta. I was very blessed/fortunate in my career path. My hobby turned into my vocation.

Please include me in this karma. Solo'd in Jul 1984 out of Whiting Field in the mighty turbo mentor.

Flew Falcons in the Coast Guard and now with FedEx, in my 15th year here. Long story for another thread later.

Thanks for the chance.

Bump for any Tailend Charlies.
