I'd remembered JFingers but forgot to tag him in the post. I've just added the rest now too.

Good catch! Can’t you go for it as well?
Wish I could. My pilots licence lapsed a long time ago (2002 to be exact). However, I have a work colleague who has a Cessna 310 and he sometimes flies us around. If I can get in the copilot's seat next time, I'll definitely post a pic.

Aw man, sorry. I grew up in aviation and following my parents, I also had a license but with life, it lapsed a while ago. I loved putting around in a Cub in all the spare time I had. It was an absolute blast. Now, the only time I get is flying with my dad in his 180. I took these just about two years ago now.

😲 I’m certainly not worthy of the wings, though I love that you have created these for far more deserving candidates 😎 This thread did inspire me to reactivate my old Facebook page in search of a photo that turned out to be much cooler in memory than reality. 23yr old scarecrow took this with an iPhone 4s, using a crap vintage camera app, while flying the pattern in a Cub. Horrible photo and filter 🤦 lol

Would have loved to have logged time in a Cub. I hear it's a good aircraft for learning how to fly a tail dragger.

If it flies it counts, every F-22 pilot starts in a small single-engine just like every MotoGP rider once threw their leg over a 50cc Honda

If I fall off a cliff on a mountain bike is that considered aircraft? If so, I'm pretty sure one of my idiot friends will get a picture of it if it happens, so I'll just leave instructions for them on how to post here....

I skydived at 16,400 ft but snapped a tendon in my leg during one landing, I usually leave that part out of my skydiving period bragging. There was also the “terminal” I went in when you hurtle down going head over foot. Still not sure how I arched and got out of that I’m pretty sure I blacked out for a second. When I say “I used to skydive” and leave out those stories I almost sound cool

Could this courtesy be extended to the tagheuerforums? All the aircraft I've flown have been while wearing a Heuer. That was a "Jack Heuer" Heuer, not TAG, which might still disqualify me.....

16k is up there!

Not saying it's wing worthy, just made me remember mine.

Sure, but the wings badge has a little Omega symbol in the middle. Maybe we can have a visually different version show when viewed on THF.
