What do you do with your pilot licence?

[facthunter]

Now you have the reason why People don't reply to my Posts. The Miscreants have now ALL self identified themselves( I'm NOT including Turbs. This will be the Kiss of death for you Probably.  Sorry). Clearly these Bullies like Playing some kind of SICK Game at other's expense. It's time it stopped. Nev

Its seems to me, that taking time to look at ourselves, in the metaphorical mirror, might just deliver some insight into how others see us😈

I've pointed out many time that this IS a Public Forum, and Ian Funds it and OWNS it. Nev

A fellow( Surname Flannigan) went though training on a Commonwealth scholarship at the same time I did at RNAC and he went Commercial + AG rating and I went the Instructor Path. He ended up flying a CERES. (Converted Wirraway) spraying Cotton very low at Night. A patch of warm air put him into the ground and he cartwheeled, hitting his forehead on the Panel and severing his achilles tendon. He got over a Km from the Plane. He was quite a character and individualist and ended up running a Mental Home and did OK.. He went through Newcastle TECH High a Year Behind me.  Another croppy I knew was Neil Simpson. Bit older with Avro's. Nev

I guess there was no mirror handy.😈

[facthunter]

You can reflect on it. . How others see you is a Lot in their Hands. A pilot of some standing I knew once, said Everyone is Projecting their Image. That must be where I went wrong.. Nev

[pmccarthy]

You could look into it.

[facthunter]

When I need your advice I will ask for it. You never let up do you? It's NOT funny. Nev

With a pilots license you can have a lot of very enjoyable times. Back in 1965 a Piper Colt cost six pounds two shillings and sixpence an hour ($12.25). In the following 61 years I have been lucky enough to fly more than 50 different types of aircraft and have owned, had shares in or had control over ten of them. One of those for over forty years until the flood waters went over the hangar gutters!

Powered fixed wing, sail planes, helicopters, paragliders and parachutes. Still enjoy it as much as I did at 17 years old (Not quite up to para things these days). It can be expensive if you are silly enough to annalise it. At an average of 90 hours per year at say  a conservative  $200 of todays money per hour, that is very close to 1.1 million of self funded flying pleasure. Would not miss it for quids!

Putting people on IGNORE is really the Most Pathetic action Possible. IS Telling me of it is supposed to bother Me?  It doesn't! . Nor  have I EVER Put anyone on an ignore list OR intend to. It's time a few People GREW up and behaved like adults.  Don't shoot Me I'm only the Messenger. People must have the right to say "things" others don't always like or where ARE we? It should be Putting people in Boxes Indulging in personal insults rather than Tolerance and reason.  Don't do things to others that you would like being done to you. How about WE give that a try? Disagreements are a normal Part of any Honest interaction. It'd be a boring World IF we all thought the same. It's HARD to get Much Idea of people on a website.  IF you wouldn't say it to My face why say it at all? Nev That's my Name Is that a problem?. My avatar is Dusty Crop Hopper.  A Disney Planes character who is a Misfit and looked down on but comes through. That's MY life and it's not been easy. Lots of others get things handed to them on a Plate and think their Poo doesn't smell. Nev

i had to take you off ignore to see what i was missing.😁.  i didn't put you on ignore to bother you. its for my benefit, to stop me reacting and letting you get under my skin. now back to ignore.

BS we don't need puerile stirring.

[facthunter]

Why would that bother ME at all? Why you chose to react is your choice. No one forces you to read it. But you Might actually get something good. Now that you know I didn't make out I was a Non Pilot, does that Help?  Nev

how is that stirring.  i explained why i use the ignore button.

[facthunter]

Ok you win. It does need some explaining. I think the biggest kick about it is telling people that YOU have done it. Well I intend to NEVER do it. . It's intended as a big insult to the One it has been applied to but it's not working. People can only be insulted by People THEY respect.  I learnt that Years ago. Nev

[Builds By Baz]

Hey all. Baz here. Would it be ok if we close this out of control thread please?

 

I had no idea it would turn into this.

its not intended as an insult. its to avoid conflict but you just won't let it go.  

you are always whinging about being picked on yet you think you can say whatever you like and thats ok.
