My plane is a Premiere; it has very efficient gas turbine engines. It goes very fast on relatively little fuel. Flying has been my passion since I was a kid.
In 1994, to motivate me to complete my pilot's license, my good friend, Gregg Maryniak, gave me Charles Lindbergh's autobiography of his solo flight across the Atlantic.
I took my first flying lesson in 1967, when I was 16. By October 1968, I had 70 hours in the air and got my pilot's license.
I got my first pilot license, an airplane private pilot license, in 1997 for the purpose of going to pick up my kids, who were living with their mother in Arizona, and I was in L.A. It was easier than to put them on a commercial flight. It was purely practical.
My pilot's license. I'm proud of that.
I learned the mechanics of how to fly a plane, but I never lifted a plane off the ground.
We spent a lot of time in simulators. We were going to do it right.
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.
I still have my [flight] license and I can still pass a flight physical.
I fly my own airplane, and I have since 1960. I rarely fly anywhere other than my own airplane.
VR really changes everything for flight because the old simulators for the PC were 2D, and you couldn't look around inside the cockpit and learn the controls or even track other planes through the cockpit.
I realized how important it was to know something about aviation, and it was something I was interested in, so I followed my brother's footsteps and obtained my pilot's license.
I never intended to become a professional pilot. But, as I became more curious about aircraft, and, well, not being John Travolta, I realized that the only way I was ever going to fly a jet is if I got a job.
The only way to get around Arizona is by small private plane.
Miramar is known as the aviation hub; many businesses right here in the city are supplying the aviation industry.
They [Erasers] were bad fliers," Angel chimed in, "And in their minds, they weren't all kill the mutants, like they usually are. They were like, remember to flap!
I decided that if I could fly for ten years before I was killed in a crash, it would be a worthwhile trade for an ordinary life time.
If I'm not on stage, I'm a pilot. I like flying planes; I have a little plane back in Nashville.
Once you are assigned to a flight, the whole crew is assigned at the same time, and then that crew trains together for a whole year to prepare for that flight.
Connor Broekhart was born to fly, or more accurately he was born flying.
With a pilot, there's a lot of information that gets packed into 46 minutes or whatever it is. Usually what happens is that, throughout the season, you get to spend a little more quality time with the characters and get to know them a bit better, whether it's based on circumstance or relationships they've created with other characters.
I'm 100 percent sure I'm becoming a really good helicopter pilot.
I left the Navy as a lieutenant after spending almost 10 years as a helicopter pilot.
I lay no claim to advancing scientific data other than advancing flying knowledge. I can only say that I do it because I want to.
One can get a proper insight into the practice of flying only by actual flying experiments. . . . The manner in which we have to meet the irregularities of the wind, when soaring in the air, can only be learnt by being in the air itself. . . . The only way which leads us to a quick development in human flight is a systematic and energetic practice in actual flying experiments.
