    Who has a pilot's licence??

    Up until old age (and lack of funds) caught up with me I had a PPL. I trained in the old Cessna 150 and 172, endorsements for Piper and a few other odds and sods. Many moons ago.

    Now fly RAA, flown Jabirus, Savannah, Tecnam and FK9. good fun and comparatively cheap flying.

    Just wondering who on this site has a pilot's licence, and what do you fly??

    To answer your question, there are probably about a dozen regular posters in here who fly. And probably half of those do it for a living.

    I suppose you could include me - I have a PPL, although not a current medical or recent experience; for a variety of reasons I have not flown since my wife died.

    Most experience on Auster and Cessna 180, the two types I have owned, closely followed by Beech 36 and C210, also C150, 172, 175, 182, 185, 206, Piper 28, 28R, 32, Grumman AA-5, DH-82A, Bellanca Decathalon, Airtourer, Beech 23 and 33, and probably a few others that don't immediately come to mind.

    I did my initial training on Airtourers, crosscountries on B23, then bought an Auster J5F, which I traded on a Cessna 180 when I moved to PNG, then sold that when I moved to Melbourne, where I rented aircraft.

    I do it for a living. CPL (Helicopter) I have never flown a fixed wing.
    Mostly flying in Fire Suppression roles.

    I have a PPL and parts of a Van's RV7A in my garage awaiting a few more rivets to be set... I must get back into it at some stage... I also have a block at Denmark airport (WA) waiting for a hangar/accommodation to be built on it.

    Several times I have obtained a Class 1 medical with the view to completing my CPL, but just never got around to it. At best I could become a weekend flight instructor but I wouldn't change jobs full time.

    Cheers
