Divers and Pilots?

[Fish_Whisperer]

Both. Hovering is insanely difficult, but I wasn't too bad at it. I only "dolphined" a little.

My landings were pretty, though.

There aren't many self respecting pilots that would jump out of a perfectly good airplane. If it has the wings attached, I'm riding it down. Well, I guess I need to qualify that statement. If it's daylight, I'm not over mountains, and the wings are still attached, I'm riding it down.

I will say, though, if you look at some of those jump planes, I'm not quite sure they are perfectly good airplanes.

You should see the inside of a C130

We always taught our crew chiefs how to put 'em back down on the ground without playing egg beater.

How did you do that?

1300 hours in F-4C/D/E Phantoms (WSO). Kiddy car rides in F-15, Mirage III, A-4,
OA-37, OV-10, EA6B, F-104G, T-6 Texan and USMC F-4S. Haven't flown a mil aircraft since 85. The Phantom is now an aerial target at Tyndall AFB FL. Now I amble down the coast of NW Florida in a Cessna 172 doing aerial photography.

Just joined this board and am pumped about diving. Just returned from Grand Cayman and looking forward to being part of this community here.

Nemrod's quote of the adage about old and bold divers applies to fighter jocks as well.

Private Single Engine Land. Contemplating high-performance and complex ratings, but that money would buy a lot of air fills...

Should have seen my first solo...picking up, my instructor thought I was trying to give him a haircut! It was not pretty and for a split second I really did think I was gonna die. LOL Of course, all went well once stabilized...

Private Pilot, Airplane Single-Engine Land. I have access to a pair of Cirrus Sr-20's one of them has the glass cockpit. I am planning to fly from FCM to PNS and dive the Oriskany this summer

I am planning to fly from FCM to PNS and dive the Oriskany this summer

As you may already know the Big O is scheduled to be scuttled ~25 mi SE of PNS on May 17. I had contemplated getting some aerial shots of its being put down but recently learned that is going to be up to a 6 hour process and I won't be flying with tip tanks. Besides, the A&E channel and national media will be crowding the airways.

Nevertheless, having the Oriskany in our waters is going to be interesting.
