Hello all, I just found these forums on google.And It looked like it was geared toward youth in aviation, but if not okay.About me- I have a huge aviation family.
😎 My granfather flew B-25’s in the USAF and went on to work for TWA, He stayed with TWA until he retired. He flew the Constellation as a capt and retired as a captain on the 727.
😎 My Father started flying with my grandfather when he was 15, my dad got his first job at pilgrim airlines flying fokkers and then worked on the 727 as a contract pilot for UPS, My dad no longer flies commercially but works for Alteon as a 737 check airman.
I have three uncles and two aunts all of which are also in aviation. The oldest uncle works as a mechanic for American airlines while, the next uncle in line flies 777’s for American. The final uncle is a commander on the C-5 galaxy, he is a reserve airman for the 512th out of Dover and saw the C-5 that crashed while on approach to Dover…………..My two aunts are not really involved in aviation but are close to it. The first is a sales rep for privatair and the second is a dispatcher for United.
I myself am 19 yrs old and I am working towards my PPL I have about 81.7 hrs in a C-172 and am looking forward to taking my checkride. I take alot of flying pictures and hope to share them here on the boards!

WELCOME…..
Welcome GED from this 50 year old clapped out Aviation enthusiast, who spent many happy hours at Airshows. My ears have put up with a lot of jet noise over the years, and am pleased to say they are no worse for wear. Enjoy, this is a great Website and I hope you become part of the regulars. 😀
