I just ran a search for this and saw there was an old thread which had some cool posts in it but as it went quiet a while back I just wondered if there were any other Pilots or aviation lovers out there on the forum?
Professionally I fly rescue helicopters but love anything to do with flying. I thought it would be cool to start a thread where those with an interest in flying and trading could say hi to each other. I once bumped into a gentleman at a trading conference who was a Gulfstream captain who said traded from the aircraft. It got me thinking there must be some great stories out there from when the worlds of trading and aviation meet!
Getting my new drone delivered on Tuesday 1/10/2017. The DJI Mavic Pro. Planning on sharing my adventures and my learnings as I'm brand new to the world of drones.
And of course I invite all to participate …

In earlier times I flew planes with same wing lenght as you did - but without motor.
That was in the seventies on a metal Blanik in Swiss Alps, then in the eighties modern gliders
came up. Also in the Swiss mountains. Sample here:
Special event and revival with a Blanik in the Mojave Desert as well!
Wonderful to be in 3rd dimension. Is of course the same underwater: I like scuba diving in
exotic places.
Thanks for the replies everyone! Sounds likes there's some cool stories out there.
@Blash UAV's definitely counts, it seems to be a huge growth market right now, I see a lot of companies developing UAS devisions, exciting times!
@dbarno Wow DC'3s thats awesome! I've always said I wanted to fly one before my time is up, such amazing aircraft. How did you get to do that? If I could do anything I'd do Bush work. I did a spell in Antarctica which was wonderful but in Scotland there isn't much call for it, Search and Rescue helicopters is the closes it gets so I'm lucky there!
I think I actually read a book about that a few years ago, I can't remember the title of it, was a great read though!
@GFIs1 That's cool, I've only ever been gliding once, loved it. Need to do more that's for sure!
@Devil Man Some great types there, all pretty majestic! A friend of mine is flying an MD-11 at the moment, not many of those beauties left!
I was just a pc flightsimmer. From doing everything wrong in the earlier versions of fs, to learning with web & forum/avsim.com info to simulate airnav.com flights with the pmdg addons in a virtual airline. Sadly for fsx since last year, for the most part I've moved on to Elite Dangerous.
