    Yep, flying A300 domestically. Adding a pic of Afghanistan, and one of the terminator for fun.

    Holy cow that is just about as cool as you can get. I see you’re in the DFW area! I’d love to meet up and talk airplanes or fly sometime. I hangar my Cardinal at Mesquite.

    Cool! I don’t have my own plane, but am a member of a flying club out of Denton. I haven’t flown there for a while - just been too busy with work and around the house. I need to get back in little planes!

    Sorry - I missed this one earlier. Yes, I flew out of Beale for quite a few years. Live in TX now.

    I doubt type rating will be an issue.

    No type-rating and no prison? Maybe I should upgrade to captain on one of these jobs. Sounds like a steal to me. I am already landing on roads and in fields.

    Funny story on that. I work for a backcountry charter operator so we land on dirt, rocks, and the like. There was a Cessna CJ captian (epaulettes) that spoke to some of my customers before we went out to the plane. He offered to take them in his CJ instead of riding with me. I said, "Well, you could land there... once." He replied, "I could land there at least twice, that thing stops on a dime! I used to fly backcountry charter in Alaska." I just giggled and led my customers out. I don't think his CJ would like rocks too much. I wonder if he misses his little[er] airplane days.

    I think this is the last time a CJ tried to go "off road."

    It's an oldy, but a goodie.

    Like when the C-17 crew mistook a small civil field for MacDill across the bay? :rofl: C-17 short field performance is pretty cool to watch though.

    Yikes. There was at least one FCIF and CC Call that came out of that.

    There’s an optional gravel kit for the Excels. I’ve never seen one with it installed though

    Here's what a Cessna 207 got after landing at Sandwash one day. I did land on the mains, BTW, there are just some large rocks that poke out occasionally.

    20170519_151935.jpg 20170603_094722.jpg

    I image the "gravel kit" is just a couple tire scrapers/deflectors? I wonder what all the PC-24 is set up with to manage FOD.
