Read *carefully* It doesn't say 1100 different _types_, just 1100 different

specifies 'jets', and 'multi-engine A/C', one might suspect he's counting
'flight' time spent in the passenger compartment of scheduled airlines.

Given a lack of type ratings, one might conclude that the claimed flight time
does not include pilot/co-pilot time in anything requiring a type rating, such
as a 'multi-engine' rating, or a 'seaplane' rating. A reasonable conclusion
would be that he was a _passenger_ in those types. Lending credence to the
suspicion in the prior paragraph.

This bio says 1100 aircraft, but his usual bio says 1100 types. He
"justifies" it by saying that a 1968 Cessna 172 is a different type
than an 1969 Cessna 172.

(Of course, I don't believe that for a moment either. His Mooney sat
on the ramp at Winterhaven with flat tires for more than 2 years.)

Maybe he counts individual flights in the same aircraft? After all,
each time he flies it is a different one as it is now 'older'.


Heck, it's got different gas in the tank, of course it's a different
airplane!!!

And he can claim a different one every time he flies as a passenger as
it is likely the 757 on this flight is different from the last flight.

Ok, I get it. In fact, I had extensive "control line" experience prior to my
actual licensing.

Gee I never thought about control line . I flew competition Combat ,Rat Race and
Carrier events for about 15 years bet I got an easy 3 - 4 thousand hours I never
counted. I still fly indoor free flight started when I was 9 so I bet there's
another 3-4 thousand hours.Then there's hand launched gliders ,RC and free
flight. I bet I got 12 -13 thousand hours and you should have seen some of the
loops rolls and spins I did with some of them. Some had a slight phugoid
tendency with a slightly damped yaw harmonic divergence and a delightful pitch
positive obedient yaw coupling. I went to the same journalistic schoo; zoom
attended. I guess I'm a test pilot as well with hundreds of test flights in new
untried designs.LOL!!!

Al,
How is anybody going to take you seriously, when you don't even have the
terminology down? That should be "fly by wire", not 'control line'. *GRIN*
