I am a instructor for Powered Parachutes and I got my private back in the mid 70's, It has been lots of years since I was current. Now it is way to expensive! When I got my Private I was working at a small airport rebuilding wrecks and aircraft electrical. I think there is a pic or 2 in my album of the ParaPlane days!

I work for a school district as supervisor of buildings and grounds. I came to this district and the theory for maintenance was run it till it breaks then replace it. I look at this site in between fire drills. I'm currently working on putting a preventative maintenance system in place.

I've not flown in about 5 years due to funds and also the knee I obliterated in 2000 (on a KX 125). I have a friend that wants to go halves on a plane. I'll have to see how things go in the next couple years. Being that I'll probalby be divorced soon. (my choice) I could forgive her once or twice, but four times is too many.
sorry for rambling a little.

Yep, I have a tee shirt with that statement on it. Wore it while racing the offroad buggy. Never realized how true it was going to turn out. I could have bought 10 bikes for what she's cost me so far, all on credit cards, and no proof of where the money went.

I was checking out the video of the 9/11 WTC crashes. I've only recently finished reading a book called "A New Pearl Harbour by David Griifin. Very wicked indeed. Any one read it?
