Quote from Tango 6 Alpha:
Let me shorten it for you:
T6
Where, Alpha = First.
Even as a GA Pilot, you had (must have) taken the exact same journey to General Aviation Meca that I and hundreds of thousands of people take each year. I'm not going to tell you were that place is within the United States, because of course, you are a GA Pilot and thus there would be no way on earth (or, in the heavens) that you would not already know where that glorious place is located each year on earth.
So, given that you've had to have visited GA Meca at least once in your GA life, I would suspect that you have seen the T6 and thus, now are fully aware of what Tango 6 Alpha might mean.
It is really nice to see someone here on ET, from GA! I've met a few pilots in the online trading world in the past (not many) and I can only think of one that did not fly into an equidistant airport somewhere in the CONUS to meet with in-person.
Yes, it is a bit off-topic, but what do you fly and where do you hanger-up?
Thank you for the clarification "T6", that clears it up. My previous hanger neighbor had a T-34 mentor and a friend recently completed an immaculate 20 year restoration on his T-28, I should have been able to pick up on the T6. Alpha threw me off.
In reply to your inquiry:
I was based in Northern California, but moved to Europe a few years back. I relinquished my Hangers and sold my Aircraft as I do not see myself returning.
Over the years I have owned a Cessna 310P Colemill conversion, two C-182's, two PA-30's and a Citabria 7ECA. The 7ECA and PA-30B CR being complete restorations. I enjoy[ed] all aspects of aviation: flying, aerobatics, jumping and restoration.
I have accumulated time in numerous aircraft, most notably in DC-3, Twin Beech C-45, Twin Bonanza, Beech B-55 Baron, Beech Duchess, Cessna 421, Piper Aerostar, Aero Commander 500, Pilatus Porter, Piper Seminole, and Cessna 150 on Floats.
I actually never made it to Oshkosh. I had planned a few trips but something always conflicted with my calendar. In the early years I was involved with a Formula one race team @ Reno Air Races, which along with Skydiving consumed my time. In the later years between restorations, charters and my business I couldnât justify the time... at times I regret missing Oshkosh but doing so didnât detract my love of Aviation.
