By day i'm an IT nerd for a large Insurance compay, by night i'm a part-time professor teaching computer science at a nearby college. I teach database design and .net programming.

That's what I do for a living. However, what I want to do is become a CFI and own a charter business. <evil scientist voice> All in due time, all in due time....... </evil scientist voice>

I'm a 757 co-pilot at NWA now Delta. My wife is a E-175 co-pilot at Compass. Despite the economy and having been laid off twice, we are looking at buying our first 182. She used to own a straight tail 182 and we are leaning in that direction.

I own an excavation company, and was a workaholic with no hobbies. I (meaning my employees) was doing a job in kingman,az. and was bored so I rode out to the airport and saw a sign that said "learn to fly" , and I thought that would be fun so I went in and signed up. 30 days later I had my ppl and I love to fly. Looking for a plane.

I build Trikes....not the flying kind but the driving kind as in Hondas and Harleys. Located in Dothan, Alabama and have a small company called Adventure Motorsports. Used to own an old 1960 C-172 that I restored and loved it. Glad to find this site.

I am 31 years old and work as a senior software developer for a leading IT giant and that's my fulltime job. Can't do any part time during the night coz we (developers) have to work for the same company even in the night
I want to take up flying for recreation only just coz its fun and i always wanted to do it... havn't started my PPL yet coz i am still in process of understanding the procedure.
