Hey guys, thought I would share a photo I took on one of my solo x/c flights from when I was working on my private down at ATP in Jacksonville Florida.

nice pic Tim

Nice Shot Tim.

Timbuff10 · September 6th, 2004, 00:55

Speaking of nice pictures, is your avitar there a feathered prop on an ATP seminole?

I will be buried in that supplement starting tuesday... Hope I can get it all down in 4 days.

I took a few like that when I was instructing for ATP. The folks at Walmart always looked at me funny after one of those rolls of film.

I miss the Seminole. Great airplane.

Good morning, Tim:

Nice shots. Thanks for bring the memory back. The terminals from lower right hand corner to left are A, B, and C. I used to fly out of JAX w/ NWA. They use gates adjacent the stair(left of stairs) at terminal A. The stair is a gate for DCA(either comair, ASA or CHQ)

it would be really great if someone could get a picture of Walt on there. He's such a fixture at ATP [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Holy crap... Brenden, I didn't even put two and two together. Anyhow, I came through your neck of the woods on my way back from Stuart on Thursday. Man traffic sucks on 84.

Tim, yet another nice picture. I don't think that that is a feathered PA44 prop in the picture but I could be wrong.

Beautiful picture, Tim!

It's amazing how that perspective captures the geometric beauty of something as simple as an airport terminal.

Timbuff10 · September 7th, 2004, 16:01

Thanks all, glad you like it!

The funny thing was right after I took this one and looked back up I had a bit of a "solo unusual attitudes" lesson. It wasn't too bad but that was the last picture from the cockpit that day! It was very hazy right after that too so about the only thing I could see was right under me anyway.

fsuflyer · September 7th, 2004, 17:03

Is that all there is to JAX? I imagined a city of that magnitude having more jetways than that.

Yes it is. The instructor wanted to show me how well the Seminole still flew on one engine at our altitude so he took the controls and rolled into a steep turn. The view was too good to pass up so I grabbed the digital camera and snapped a picture. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Timbuff10 · September 7th, 2004, 18:25

Nice, I look forward to doing that next week. I spent the morning working on those 44 questions in the back of the seminole supplement.

The thing that got me was the fact that DL brings a 767 in there. Are that many people going to ATL from JAX all at once?

BobDDuck · September 7th, 2004, 19:16

Okie, I'll take back what I said about the prop. As to the size of the airport.... JAX is a really big city (in fact, I think it may be the biggest in the USA), but it is very spread out. The airport (JAX) is fair sized but it is not huge. That said, even FLL and PBI aren't really that big either. As for the DL767... I've been on it twice from ATL to JAX (never the other way) and both times it was almost full, even mid week. I think JAX is something of a gateway airport for the region. You've got to go down to Orlando or PBI or over to TPA before you hit another major airport.

blee256 · September 7th, 2004, 19:40

Jax is the biggest city in the 48 states, by land mass. But its only got about a million people, I think 1.2 million is what ernie told me. The airport isnt too busy. I fly in the so cal area now, I think John wayne and ontario are busier than jax.

congrats on passing ur private, timbuff. Just know that the program only gets harder, its good to hear that you've already started studying. good luck

adreamer · September 7th, 2004, 22:52

Good evening, everyone:

I used to fly out of JAX as a passenger on NWA. One day I realized that I have fly out of JAX too many times. TSA and NWA agents recognize me by face and name. JAX is not that busy. The busy time around JAX is major sport events, for example:College football games, NASCAR and Super Bowl will be hosted there in 2005. On the other side of JAX is ANG or regular Air Force base plus NOAA weahter station.

The program gets harder? It's a cake walk after you get your private man. The CFI class is the easiest two weeks of the program by far. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cwm27.gif[/img]
