Retired at 52. My day job for the last two years has been building my 7a but I do work part time in the summer driving a shuttle in Rocky Mountain National Park...
Wow, this thread still lives!
I've since changed careers, now flying these to put gas in the -8
Big bush plane
Taking families to Disneyland
Awesome job..... Somebody's gotta do it!
How do you like the c series? Going to launch close to on time? How do you get a job doing that?
I didn't realize it was that big!
Stumbled across this thread today..... Thought I'd post some pics... I definitely don't have anything that compares to some other people.. nothing involving flying really fast things during the day...
What I do do is high end Audio/Video and Automation systems. I own my own company called A/V Consulting. Been pretty lucky to work completely off referrals... Designing and wiring BIG A/V systems and racks certainly is helping with the wiring and electrical design of the plane...
Here' a few Racks. As you can see, my guys and I are pretty picky about the wiring...
The back
Different system... No Equipment besides the displays and speakers in the rest of this 10k sq ft house.
The phone guys made a little bit of a mess of the left side of this one.. I did clean it up after this pic...
This is a theater I just finished... 12ft wide masking curved anamorphic screen (It changes from HDTV Shape, to what you see here so you never get the black bars for widescreen movies..)
And yes.... Caddyshack just happened to be on Cable.... Had to spend 30 minutes or so watching... ahem... I mean calibrating...
That's . . . nah, too easy.
Man, I wish you would've posted this 2 years ago when I was assisting my parents with their home A/V system. Do you do any work in the desert? (Palm Springs/La Quinta) How about Control4 work?
I am a Vans guy. I will tell anyone that. That becomes a bit of a problem with my day job. I work at Glasair Aviation! It is at my home airport and it is great experience. I love working there
I am a college student and a student pilot (I solo'd last week) so this job is perfect for a young guy like me!

Hi everyone. I'm brand new to the forums,
Thank you!Paul, welcome aboard the good ship VAF.
First flight with my son on the "day job"
Outstanding, Myron! I'm envious--looks like neither of my kids will follow me into a SWA cockpit.
You may or may not remember me--I used to fly a Bonanza out of the Mogollon Airpark about 10 years ago.
I live in Kansas City now, and I'm about 2 days away from purchasing a flying -8. Can't wait!
