Unloading and pre-flighting the Powered Parachute. I'm kinda at the bottom of the aviation food chain, But it is an "N" numbered craft, and I have a Sport Pilot license to fly it. I also have a TT GMT II. But, in the photo, and most of the time, I wear my EXP II. It's my favorite. (It's also my Railroad watch)

CX is my favorite airline.

I'm usually on the MLA-HKG-MLA flights or flights going to the continental US. Very cool pics Kevin, thanks for posting.

bluemartinifan · 12 April 2010, 01:09 AM

Dont have a plane - or a pilots license - but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Select last night and do have one of these

Back when Avgas was ALOT cheaper, Times were simpler. I no longer have the plane or the man on the left. He's my dad. He would appreciate a good Rolex. I miss them both alot.

SDDS · 12 April 2010, 06:21 AM

davez1000 · 13 April 2010, 06:02 AM

I don't like the look of your N1 and EGT on there....!
I think you may have just ruined several million dollars worth of engine!

Now that Greece needs the money, I am thinking of buying a Mig-35 from the Hellenic Air Force

Apatheticviews · 13 April 2010, 08:21 AM

Since we're talking about GMT's.. I spotted one in the local pawn shop today while I was scouting for wife's birthday (I already have several of her presents, but you never know what you may find in the "sparkly department" and it gave me an excuse to look for watches!).

It was a Pepsi bezel, with box and documentation, which looked to be in good condition. Advertised as 2006~. Bezel looked a little faded, but not overly so. The guys there seemed very open to negotiation, and although it's not the exact model I want (I was leaning towards a ND sub), I wouldn't be opposed to it, as an interim watch. Any recommendations on price?

nauticajoe · 13 April 2010, 08:25 AM

Does my avatar count?

kenhiraihnl · 13 April 2010, 08:42 AM

It's not a plane or a GMT...It's me, my Sub, and my Cobra Hog in Vietnam in 1968...Sorry for OT...

NGN · 13 April 2010, 10:11 AM

Best thread ever.

Flyjet601,
By my plane, do you mean you fly that challenger, or is it actually yours?

Either way, VERY cool.

Lowflight · 13 April 2010, 11:12 AM

Nice Challenger...next to the Citation X it is my favorite.
