took a flight in the boss's plane

I flew my boss's t34

I work for the wrong company

So cool

That is cool.
I used to fly Cessnas. I miss being up there.

we have three of these

Need any pilots? I got 8000 hours and out of work... Looks very cool!

Many a pilot trained in those wonderful birds. They were the primary trainer here in San Angelo at Goodfellow Air Force Base (Goodbuddy Airplane Patch) back when they had a flying mission. The base no longer has ANY active runways, but continues as the ALL-Service Intell/Cryptologic School AND the Training Center for ALL Land-Based DoD Firefighting.

Not only was the T-34 a reliable, forgiving aircraft, but it was also a maintenance pleasure. Well designed and easily serviced. Much like the JEEP and the DEUCE - Designed for the 18-22 year old kid to fly or maintain.

I'm glad you got to fly in that piece of HISTORY. Did you get any "Stick-Time", or just enjoy the ride?

I have some time in the T-34. Just sold my Beachcraft, had a V35B
outstanding aircraft. Now its busting knukles on my M1009.




1985 M1009
M101a1

Sweet!

Keep 'em flyin'

T-34's are OK but I am a round engine guy.

I prefer my trainers with Wrights...........................now I should not say that too loud as I work for Pratt & Whitney

No more pleasing sound then a Pratt swinging a Hamilton Standard at supersonic tip speeds pissing off the neighbors, or a V-12 Merlin at full song....

Insert Tim Allen grunt here!

R-985, 1830, and my favorite the mighty R-2800! Grunt grunt grunt!!!!!
