Good job. At this age, I don't want to take another test. :) Hope you get some use out of the ratings. Are you ready for the practicals? -------- Scott Liefeld Flying N11MS since March 1972 Steel Tube C-85-12 Wire Wheels Brodhead in 1996 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447771#447771 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:41:22 AM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: written tests From: Steven Dortch No, I am preparing to go to get my instrument, commercial and CFI training at a military flying club in Colorado Springs. They are the best place for me to use my GI bill for flight school. They can count some of my previous instrument training, and they will count my flight experience toward my commercial. I can train as fast as the weather, plane schedule, and my ability will let me. I am a gray area Army national guard retiree and will draw my retirement pay next year. Due to multiple mobilizations, I am unemployed. My goal is to have a follow on career that pays me to do something I love, sharing flying.

You are still just a kid! Hell's Bells, even your dad is still flying planes, right?

My 4 grandkids don't see it that way. :) To me, test mean two things. 1. Added responsibility comes with the passing of said test. 2. There might be something physically or mentally wrong with me. I don't really want to see either of those things. I think I want to just keep doing what I do and have fun doing it. Yes I still learn while doing them, I just don't want a test at the end. Fun is my objective and at 54 (heck, next year I can get the senior discount at Denny's) I hope to have a lot of time to enjoy. Dad is 84 now. He still flys and rides motorcycles. I'm hoping I can follow in his footsteps. All in good fun, -------- Scott Liefeld Flying N11MS since March 1972 Steel Tube C-85-12 Wire Wheels Brodhead in 1996 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447779#447779 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 12:15:41 PM PST US From: Ray Krause Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: written tests Scott, I completely agree with you! When I turned 55 I immediately went to Denny's and ordered the Seniors' Skillet Breakfast, signed up for AARP and retired for the first time. I've retired two more times since then! I got it right the third time and only do fun things now! Two grandkids in college and four more in junior high school and below. Now all I do is build airplanes and fly them, always learning and facing challenges. Faced an Echo Stress Test yesterday and passed with 100%. But the doc would not guarantee me life to 100! So, at 73 I'm still enjoying all the good things in life! Ray Krause Covering the last half wing of my SkyScout.

I guess that alone would be a reason to retire from being retired. Wow, that sounded better in my head. Have a great weekend. -------- Scott Liefeld Flying N11MS since March 1972 Steel Tube C-85-12 Wire Wheels Brodhead in 1996 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447784#447784 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 02:13:28 PM PST US From: Ray Krause Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: written tests Scott, Just wait till they go to college, and get their pilot's license!
