That puppy only as 550shp, so makes me wonder what flying a beast w/ 2000+ hp would be like... | |

Country: | I've flown T-34As and Bs - it must be a hoot. I was flying out of Edwards AFB in their aeroclub T-34 when the NASA C came up along side of me, waved and left me in the dust! 550 hp vs. 225hp?!?!
Best of luck in your flight training. I read in another post you're hoping for helos (Hueys). Good ole bird, I worked on a few as a civilian...

I see a billboard for one on the corner of garden and barrancas... maybe that one's it. I can't imagine growing up here... it's just way too hot! | |

When I was growing up there was no development on the keys and we had a jeep so we could run the dunes anytime we wanted to. Also, the beaches are beautiful. When it got hot, we went to the beach. Many memories of parties on the gulf. In addition, we loved sea food, fried shrimp, crab gumbo, fried mullet, oysters (I didn't care for this),flounder, mmm, I'm getting hungry. Wonderful boating and skiing, lousy surfing.
It is hot and humid however and hurricanes can make life exciting. When I was in pilot training, I flew my cross country to Pensacola. It was a big ego trip as I taxied my afterburning T-38 past the pregnant T-2s of the Navy. I popped open the canopy and tried to inhale the 100% humidity of Pensacola and said"I home!" I guess the heat and humidity gets into your blood.
Have a great tour. I am sure you have airconditioned quarters and classrooms. Remember, a lot of aviators went there without it and survived. The place has great tradition and the Naval Air Museum is one of the best in the nation and probably the world.
P.S. When I was growing up I had to compete with you guys from the Navy and Marine pilot training program for dates! Tough competition. My sister said she had never met a bad looking Naval aviator, the Marines, on the other hand... (just kidding! I'm sure she meant the Marines, too  ). | |
