My two loves guitars and airplanes. Love to play and love to fly, but not at the same time.
 
Well, I think Big Poppa is a pilot, but I'm not certain. I know that Ernie Ball was, and so is Steve Morse. So you're in good company!
 
What about Palm Pilot?
I have a pilot on my furnace!?

Wait, I don't have a Palm Pilot yet!
I'm outa this thread. ;)

What is the old saying? Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane? We wear chutes when flying aerobatics, but I hope I never need the thing. How many jumps do you have?
 
Hey I just became a Junior Mint. I was wondering how long that Newbie status hung with you.

Big Poppa, if you ever have a need for a private jet, I can hook you up.
 
2 minutes and Big Poppa was all over that offer! :D
You never know when he's lurking in the background. :eek:
 
Hey, I feel honored to get to converse with the Big Poppa himself. Anybody else need a Jet? The more hours I sell the more EBMM guitars I get to buy.
 
Axis Sport,

I don't need a jet, and I'm not a pilot but I've always wanted to at least try it!

I guess I need to spend a few less $$$ on guitars/amps/etc. and save a few pennies for some lessons in a Cessna 172 at the local flying school.

Over 600......this includes sport jumping and military type stuff. It's all fun until the chute won't open.........certainly makes your butt pucker up. :cool:

Wow thats a bunch. Thanks for serving. My brother jumped with the Airborne Rangers and had a chute malfunction. They had it on tape, he got the reserve out pretty close to the ground but landed ok.
 
I'm becoming a pilot, will graduate early spring.
That probably meens unemployment and a lot of time playing my new Axis, when it's delievered that is :)
 
I logged around 300 hours in my late Father's Piper Warrior II. I also made 1338 skydives. Unfortunately I no longer fly or jump, but man I have some awesome memories of those days. I also got my first Music Man guitar about 8 weeks ago, a loaded Graphite Pearl Petrucci 6-string. Just thought I'd mention that since this is my first post.
