That's what I was thinking ... he lives how far from you?

I was pretty hot to find a half-finished S-1C a few years ago but since then I've decided that isn't the life for me.  Once it gets too cold to work in the garage on my cars this winter I want to get a start on something much more sedate than a Pitts.

Stearman?  Plenty sedate.  Plenty of character.  Maybe too much.

I would love to try a Stearman out, somehow I've made it this far without flying one.  With me at 6'5" they look like they should be just the right size.  Right now though I'm trying to get a lower paying job so it's probably best I set my sights accordingly.

How about a jet pack?  They can't be too expensive.

That looks very relaxing - an afternoon of flying with friends - no loops
or rolls or anything stressful.

I consider myself a compassionate conservative, as for the job I'm seeking something I'll enjoy more and which will ultimately have a higher ceiling than what I'm currently doing.
