Been gone awhile, but now am flying for a living

Just thought I would check in. I've been busy moving to Arizona for a new job flying a 75 P-Navajo (N573B) for Mexican Gospel Mission. I'm available to help with real-world flying questions. I also now have a 73 Cessna 150 (N11445) that I use for teaching basic flight training and building hours toward my ATP. I still think that FS2004 is a great tool and a lot of fun. Ciao!

Good to see you again.
That sounds like the dream job and yes we can always use another pro to help us here. We can never have enough professional pilots for some of the complex questions (for some of us) answered.

This airplane was lost about a month after this posting at Gallup, NM. I hope it was not the guy who posted here that was killed in the crash.

Although no names are given in the reports, unfortunately it is very likely it is the same person. I would be more than happy if Ron or anyone else can tell us otherwise.

NTSB and other reports indicate the pilot/owner of N573B was killed in the accident.

I've checked his FAA registration and Medical Certificate and they have not been renewed.

The second aircraft (N11445) is now registered to another owner.

I tried to send him an email through the little email icon, however it told me "invalid session" -- Any ideas?

Strange how these things happen in the most unexpected times -- At least now, he can fly forever, and never worry about the next pay check -- RIP

Puts life into perspective. The fact he had posted on here alive and well looking forward to life makes it so much harder to comprehend.

Rest In Peace
