    This is the plane I fly in at work. It's a Cessna 421C. I'm not a pilot, but our pilot was kind enough to let me fly it a few times at altitude. Really sparked an interest in earning my pilots license.

    There are two of these based at my home airport, Addison TX. Very neat airplanes for sure!
    421 is such a nice plane.... But man are they expensive

    Powered by one tailgate mounted CFM56–7 engine. The engine is a dual–rotor, axial–flow turbofan engine capable of producing 27,000lbs of thrust. Why yes, my tailgate is slightly bowed in.

    I'm flying for a wholly owned regional with flow rights to our major airline parent company.... 8 year F/O by choice, quality of life more important than left seat time right now, have a kindergartner and second grader, rather be home more.

    Be happy to help with info on getting started in this industry. TOY33, send me a PM I can give you a rundown of things.... Wife and I took kids on spring break trip, give me a day or two to reply.....

    yep. I work there, but am away at college now. Wasn't sure if y'all still were or not

    Edit: In fact, I see your name is Mike. I think we may have spoken on the phone before.

    Yep! People from AUV kept calling in while it was getting set up and I got really good at sending calls up to the accounting department because I had no idea what y'all were trying to do :D

    I learned this word by getting beaten in Words With Friends with it. My friend put "ha" in front of "boob" and got 70-something points from it! I will never forget the Haboob

    I love this civil reg! Childish? Perhaps? But getting to play with these wonderful big boy toys for a living means never having to grow up completely.
