Tomsa55,
I sent you a PM. This really is a very diverse crowd, but there seem to be a lot of aviation types here. I count two air traffic controllers, two pilots, and at least one aviation mechanic.
I love pushing planes almost as much as I love to drive my car. I traded flying for controlling, and that was a very tough decision. The flying promised a level of excitement, travel and lifestyle that is very hard to beat. The controlling won me over because of the speed and intensity of the control room environment, and of course, the money (which exists in flying, too, but it does take a while to establish a decent income as a pilot.). I've known so many of them who tried but didn't quite make it to the big leagues, but I know a small handful who are lucky enough to sit in the nose of a jet.
Ken

I am a Firefighter Paramdeic for a rural agency in Colorado, which is why I have no mods on my Mustang. I actually was a Program manager for a large defense contractor and gave it up to run into burning buildings and save peoples furniture for less than half the pay. But pay or not I love the job and love my car.

I love reading about the mods done to other peoples cars though.
I'm a Vendor Specialist in auto insurance claims. I look at and review collision damage estimates all day. So far, the '05 - '06 'Stangs are relatively moderate in repair costs.
