You should clean up that cert a bit. ATP SE land and sea would do that. Heh... I’ve realized these sort of silly challenges make life more interesting. Next up is some helicopter CFI ratings. But what I really want is an A&P; that would be very useful!

I got my ASES in 2005 up in Talkeetna, AK and it was the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on...except for the FAA check ride, that is. That's a long and painful story but, against all odds, I passed. Attachment: 100_1636.JPG

Congrats! That is one heck of an amazing accomplishment MT!
I saw a blocked Widgeon flying over Northern Virginia Sunday at 3:15, headed, South, and wondered if that was you but I believe it may have been N402E. There aren't many G-44s still flying!

I only started to fly recently, but I still remember when it was possible to get an ATP in a glider. I see it marked on that amazing certificate. But I hear it's no longer possible. I expected to see a Citation on floats

I asked WipAire about putting a Citation on floats but my idea fell apart when they estimated $3 million! A 275kt seaplane would actually be a very useful airplane for some people.

According to the manufacturer's website, Be-200 cruises at 383 knots maximum, 323 knots economical. So if the aerodynamics of the floats are sufficiently optimized, 275 knots should be attainable. http://beriev.com/eng/Be-200_e/Be-200_e.html

I’m guessing it serves in the place of “Instrument Airplane”? I noticed that too. I think it's implied because you can't get an ATP without an instrument rating.
