Interesting. Reminded me of the movie " Strategic Air Command " with Jimmy Stewart and June Allison which is a great movie. I will be studying for my private pilot's license soon. Something I have been wanting to do since I was about 13. Thanks, Elwood. :thumbup: One thing in the article surprised me. It mentioned that it would take 30 Cessna 172's to carry the payload of 70,000 lbs. which is 35 tons. I did not think a 172 could carry 1.16 tons. But it did say fully loaded. It is probably correct. :thumbup:

Good luck. I took ground school and when I started delving into all the rules and regulations involved with flying I decided to fore go the stress and stick with sailing. Much less pressure and safer. :-D

I understand. Sailing is great. My Dad loves sailing. Both are about freedom and mobility. Sailing undoubtedly is more freedom. I looked up the weight limits on the 172. It appears that is the plane, fuel and cargo combined. You haven't even mentioned this avatar photo of the two of us. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Jake I was a little slow on the uptake. That picture was taken so long ago that I didn't recognize myself since I have slimmed down and greyed out. You need to update our photo bro. :lol: :lol:

I would if I had slimmed down. I need to. I have put on some weight this past three years.

As a former B-29 pilot have fun as a private pilot..Flying is sooth sailing in between periods of sheer panic. I worked around a small airport to get enough money for an hour in a piper cub Got my private when I was 17. Good luck.

Cool. :thumbup: When i was 13 a friend from church took me up in a Cessna a few times. One day he let me control the throttle and yoke for a number of take offs and landings. I have dreamed about getting my lic. ever since.
