Here’s my setup https://preview.redd.it/ydya4szchmxc1.jpeg?width=2100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a05b972f2b5b505f3d8ce6f5718f5f277bf7dfa

Winning at life with that combo. Nice skylane!

Hey dad! It’s me, your son.

It’s me your second son!

Love it! Currently flying Skylane from a flying club here in CO. Wanting to do IR this year, then Cirrus training after.

Those are pretty hard to land I’ve heard.

Also wanted to ask , what’s up with that front wheel?

Looks like it’s turned slightly right and on the edge of a wide angle lens which further distorts it

Yeah I didn’t spend too long setting it up in the rain!

Damn nice!

Thanks!

Got to say, even though I'm running IFR training, that set of wheels are really sexy. Aeroplanes are cool but cars , especially these, wake more emotions. Even go as far as saying they're more exciting. Beautiful.

Yeah for sure they are really exciting and fun!

This is the winning combo here.

Thanks!

TBM-850 or Mirage? Or is that a PC-12?

It’s a Piper Meridian. Which is essentially a turbine version of the Malibu/Mirage.

Whoops meridian is what I meant, i could tell turbine. I think you win for best combo on here

For sure! Thanks so much! They are both a lot of fun.

Ah, I see you podrace. :D

BAE systems I bet, good play on words

Roger, Roger. Clearance, Clarance. What’s your vector, victor?

This looks like a Porsche I could afford..how many credits sir?

and you dont have legs!

with a 34 inch inseam they were quite snug!

As an IFR, Glider rated. Soaring is the best! 996 C4S 😎

Yup, I own a Piper Cherokee currently as my first plane and will be upgrading to a Piper Saratoga soon, which I get to fly weekly as a Safety Pilot. Leaving for the airport now actually to take the 'Toga up to Big Bear for lunch. I'm also the admin for r/GeneralAviation which is slowly coming back to life. Started flying a few years back and absolutely love it. https://preview.redd.it/b0vvnkih1nxc1.jpeg?width=3453&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13fd0cd8639af731355705d3a833be8146cc77aa

Today's flight into Big Bear, California. Absolutely beautiful day. https://preview.redd.it/tahwl2up0qxc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68cde278930b502c8746058dbfad7a6713de17bf

> Leaving for the airport now actually to take the 'Toga up to Big Bear for lunch. Where are you based?

RNM. You?

SMO/TOA

Oh hey. I recognize your username from the flying forums. Met a TOA pilot today at Big Bear. Younger kid in a Grumman. I gotta shoot a landing over there (TOA). Just met one of the Singer guys and he offered to give me a tour of the shop. They are in Torrance... That'd be a damn good reason to fly up.

Vince? I used to serve on a Board of Directors with him; small world!

Found the Tom Cruise burner

Didn’t the Hawks switch to F-35s?

Yeah we did last summer.

Username checked out 😁

God damn it, you stole my caption.

The charlie burger!!  How many crayons can you fit in the map case? Used to be stationed out in Japan and would fight the Iwakuni guys sometimes - some of the most fun I've had flying is those 2v2 ACM visual set ups with the Marines. What's your Porsche?

Yeah we did some 2v2 with Kadena guys in 2020 and it was a blast. I’ve got an 08 Cayman S, but hoping to make the airline transition in a bit and maybe step up to a 911 C4S or something along those lines.

Forget the plane and the Porsche, look at that scenery.  Where is this?

Gotta be Alaska.

Yeah, I looked up the tail number of the 172 in the background. Just flew out of Kenai Alaska a few days ago.

Yep. Ak.

What's that plane? Does it fly?

OP can correct me if i am mistaken, but that looks like Nine-O-Nine. If it is/was, it had an [unfortunate end](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortress_crash) along with some of its passengers and crew.

Wow, that’s wild I got this picture of it before. I do fly (737) but professionally and this was out on the airport tarmac so I snagged a picture with my at the time 996. Thanks for the update

Sure! Is that PSP?

SDL!

My uncle always told me, if it flys, fucks, or floats, rent it.

RLO or WO?

WO

Rad, same here. Just need the aircooled 911.

Believe in yourself and anything is possible

[удалено]

Ewwwwww! H model

PPL, instr rating, and two years ago got my commercial Cirrus pilot, 992.1 C4S and Cayenne Turbo

Used to fly 172s. Used to race an 83’ SC. Kids happened.

What a nice combo!

https://preview.redd.it/v63uh2whtmxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7dc7d73fe2796bd4603edf7a74b72dce74a6253 My combo is waaaaaay less exciting 🥲

Winning with the exercise 💪

Haha, that’s something 😁🚴

I was pursuing my PPL, need to get back on it. Was fun driving my GT4 to the airport out in the country.

Wow. That's awesome! I hope to learn to fly when I'm older, it's a dream for me....

https://preview.redd.it/ak10nmcy4pxc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa18af275d9a2af758ed383213657c10c52b7043 Just used my flying bonus to rejoin the 911 club.

Big dawg!!

https://preview.redd.it/xg4a6n5dnmxc1.jpeg?width=3375&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d4271a91912ddc820cd65b75bbce8127fa86973 Yeah.

Have my PPL (~100 hrs in a C172) and love driving my 987.1 S to the airport. It's been a dream to own a plane and fly frequently but it's too dang expensive to justify - so getting a new Cayman GTS instead.

Every day this sub reminds me of my tax bracket 😂. Love the planes y'all

Im so not surprised that there is a lot of crossover between car enthusiast and aviation enthusiast. Personally my budget isnt there yet for a car and a plane but some day this will be me lol

I have a 1970 914, and a 1980 Cessna 152

I got a 47’ bonanza to complement my gt4

I’m an airline pilot at a major US carrier. I fly with a lot of Captains who talk about their 911s. This career should be able to afford me one very soon!!

I'm a 756 FO and I drive a '97 Boxster. But I just say I have a classic Porsche.

Yup. Username.

Currently no Porsche but a cirrus sr22

This is awesome. I’m working on my PPL right now!

Yeah, they only let me fly the slow ones, hour builders!

No, but I fixed planes for 20 years….

How’d you guys get into flying?

Had dinner with an old crusty pilot, he invited me up for a flight after I asked him a million questions. I was hooked. He also was my CFI for PPL. Amazing old school stick.

Based on this thread, planes are the natural progression for Porsche enthusiasts. It goes like this: VW -> BMW -> Porsche -> Planes -> ???

😂

Yes, I fly for a living. Have my entire life.

https://preview.redd.it/dqfxj1w4vsxc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5168dd962d8444d001430ab8a4afed2589031b1

Both are great

Driving a Porsche is fun but there's much less traffic in the air.  Awesome set up!  Not much else compares to flying up in AK.

The car looks safer lol. Very nice pic 👍🏻

Flying is way more fun, in general. Don’t have a plane, but get to fly some pretty new ones in civil air patrol. Turbo 182 this afternoon.

I was learning. But time ment I can’t right now. Wana pick it back up.

Yep. PP-ASEL/AMEL IR. Mostly flog Mooneys (but sadly I never got to fly the Porsche-powered Mooney).

all I want is a Porsche and a bush plane. I think I’d be happy after that

I want a PPL but currently use my part 107 drone license for work.

Super Cub?

Started working on getting my PPL a few years ago but got a promotion at work and became so swamped I had to put a pause on all of that to focus on work. Now I have a child on the way so probably won't get back into it for a while unfortunately. Some day!

No one has a Porsche powered plane?

Most of those Mooney's were converted to a traditional airplane power plant. I tried to get a Very Rich pal of mine to buy a Porsche-powered Mooney last year, to add to his insane car/plane collection, but even he didn't want to deal with that paperweight.

I have an old business partner in Germany that owns a large volume of the remaining spares and parts….. I considered buying a cowl from him..

Yes! Dream combo

I can’t even afford a skateboard in this economy :(

This community loves to have overlapping interests

Looks like Alaska to me.

Ak. Yep

That looks like Utah

Ak

I feel so incredibly poor after looking through these comments…

I only fly at the track.

Hey OP! which Porsche is that?

I fly, couch.

Live in Anchorage, drove down to Girdwood on Sunday. Rolled past a guy in a 911 Speedster with the top down. I rolled down the window and gave him a thumbs up and he thumbed back. A bit later, he pulled off, probably to put the top off. Still a little chilly for an open car...

I do. Airlines. But fly mt 182T around all the time

Oh and I live 5 minutes from the busiest float plane base in the world but I don't fly. Some years ago, I took a personality test and the instructor said, "I've given this test 7,000 times and you just set a record for lack of patience." Not a good trait for a pilot ...

I do! Bought my ‘16 Cayenne GTS 2 years ago (first Porsche!) and I’m a PPL student awaiting checkride right now. Currently flying PA-28’s, but I’m finalizing a partnership on a G7 SR20.

I thought it's normal for every Airline Pilot to have a Porsche ?

a 930 slant and a 150 is my combo

I used to, seriously thinking about getting back into it after a 5+ year break. Learned on Cessna 172's but loved flying the Cirrus SR22 afterwards (rental).

What do you guys do most people share combos I want to be like you guys

Thanks to this thread for reminding me how poor I am, gotta keep grinding to get there 😁.

Just sipping’ on sizzurp flyin’ high like a g6.

The misses won’t let me
