|  Ratings Collectors - now this is interesting
These guys fascinate me... the amount of money they put into the system is phenomenal. These are pilots who collect ratings. I find it hard to believe they are married. I haven't dated a girl yet that would put up with the amount of financial loss required to support this hobby. But it is interesting none the less. Look these guys up. - John Lear - every rating possible by the FAA - Leiland Mozart Duke - MD-11 pilot probably 50+ types and most all other ratings - Robert Blaine Briggs - 100 Types and almost all other ratings Does anyone know of any other note-worthy ratings collectors besides these guys that have an absurd amount of FAA tickets? These people blow my mind. |

I have a pilot certificate AND a restricted radiotelephone operator permit. And a driver's license.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of going into the school house. I'd rather know one airplane really well.
