Took the 16610 on a little trip!
Bucket list item is checked off! Some of you know I'm a pilot(not for a living anymore) and love to fly whenever I get the chance.
A buddy of mine, also a pilot owns a few planes and he is very generous about taking me along, especially in IM C (instrument) conditions or when he wants to work on approaches and holds. We usually fly his twin engine Piper Aztec and have a blast! This last Sunday we did something a bit different in one of his other aircraft. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1447284058.984408.jpg This twin engine jet is a Casa. It was a fighter jet made in Spain and used in the Spanish and Egyptian Air Forces in the late 1970's-early 1980's! We had a great flight! Did a bunch of aileron rolls, high G turns, and a couple of loops. Our max was a 5G turn and I felt myself "browning out" a few times , not totally blacking out though. That happens because all the blood in your head rushes down to your lower parts . It was GREAT! So, as the saying goes here,"pics or it didn't happen so here I am! I'll only post a few but I have tons more if anyone's interested.

Your damn right it is!!!!!! |
