Well the good news is my flight instructor that I've been flying with for the past almost 2 years just got hired on by Omni here out of Tulsa. So the sad news is he won't be my instructor anymore. But the good news is I now have access to a 172RG that Omni provides for the pilots for $25 an hour!! So we plan on using that thing a lot.

 

i like how the title was indicative of the thread content.

 

it's amazing how many people have clicked on this thread just to see Dan in a new thong.... i'm sure that I will recover from the exttended hard-on I have experienced in anticipation of seeing Dans silky smooth loins again.

 

Hey, the Cutlass is a good plane. It is good that you will have a lot of complex aircraft time while training.



Have fun with it.

 

Whew, for a second I thought someone logged on as me and started posting thong pics. Good job whoever changed the title.

 

wow. thats a great deal. does that include fuel ?



isn't the 172 rg the one with 210hp ?

 

180hp, 140kt cruise speed, 470nm range. I could fly myself to the winter retreat for 500 bucks, give or take.



Yes includes fuel. I'd just have to have Ric my instructor with me, since its his companies plane, and thong

 

sounds like an awesome deal. i don't see how the airplane will pay for itself with annual inspections and maintenence, but take advantage of it while you can.. iv'e never seen anything that cheap..



the 172's that i fly (not the rg, but our aero club has one), don't usually go much faster than 120 unless you go straight down, and they run $57 an hour which is really cheap in this area.



i got it up to 160 once, but i doubt the structural integrity of a 1965 cessna.

 

Yeah the basic 172's aren't the fastest, but i'm use to a 152 so I can't complain. The 152's here are 60 bucks an hour to rent at the rental place, not sure what the 172's are going for let alone an RG.



Only thing I can figure is that since its Omni Airways they get the hookup on fuel in maintenance, and thongs

 

i think the rg at my flight center its about 75 an hour. they have a total of about 7 airplanes.



a lot of people at my work have airplanes (not where i train)... i have about 10-15 hours of free time in november just from going out over the ocean and conducting reef surveys..



i was also lucky enough to sit right seat in a challenger 604 a few months ago for about 2 hours. all the co-pilot really does is read checklists, operate flaps/gear and the radio. lots of fun to get jet after all your used to flying is single engine props.
