What Do you Do?

[Droning on and on...]

Boy isn't that the truth!! I so miss the days of $1000 J-3 Cub/Champ projects and $8000 decent, flyable Cessna 150s.

Ditto!

Got my ticket in the 80s, flew for fun for a few years, then pretty much gave it up because it was just too expensive for simply "fun".

Took up hang-gliding.

That was a blast until I got too fat, and couldn't run fast enough.

Route driver for 23 years then 15 in facility management. Last 9 as a warehouse supervisor in aerospace. Next birthday will be my 70th and no plans to retire until I can’t move. I also need to support my golf, motorcycle and drone addictions.

Just turned 66 and still working full time, 12 hour shifts, as a Respiratory Therapist. Worked as a clinical instructor in respiratory therapy for several years in Salt Lake City, Ut. Moved to Seattle 30 years ago and worked for years in a large, very busy trauma center here. Been at a small, calmer community hospital for the last decade. One day I'll retire, I suppose.

In the Army I was a Truck Driver. My M.O.S. was a 64c and then the Army changed it to 88m for some reason.

I am 56 years old. Professional mechanical engineer. Bosch company, equipment for car repair.

20 years building homemade RC planes, gliders. I love to travel with my wife by car. Since 2024, a military drone pilot and instructor. DJI drone flights, which are illegal over long distances, are very helpful today.

After the war I promise not to take RC remote control in my hands. I dream of seeing London.

I also did RC Airplanes for 20 years in the late 80s. Started with.40 glow and finished in giant scale. Very expensive hobby and unlike DJI there’s no position hold on planes. 3 things you never want to run out of when flying tv fixed wing.
