S2000 Pilots??
How many S2000 owners here are pilots? We know what you drive, but what do you fly? Private? Charter? Corporate? Airline?
I fly corporate/HNWI - Citation X

Private, IFR & Commercial ratings. Major in college was Aviation.
Mostly just 150's and 172's during training.
Have a lot of commercial pilot buddies from school working for the airlines but I never got into that line of work.
It's been ages since I've flown (perhaps 15 years), hopefully some day I'll get back into it. I really loved flying when I did.

ASEL (Private) plus a lot of bootleg stick hours in the UH1H, OH6, and OH58. Non-commercial aircraft and parachuting prohibited by SHMBO although she's perfectly willing to let me cross oceans in a 50 foot sailing cutter I guess because she'll never be able to recover my body and save that expense.

An uncle owned and flew a Beech 17 as a business aircraft. In it's day it was, like the Citation X today, the fastest civilian aircraft. My Dad spoke of flying with him and playing with the P26s (yeah, that long ago!) when they were at Selfridge AAF. Uncle Pete died in a car crash on a rural Wisconsin highway...
My only time in a fast mover was years ago at Eglin AFB when I was a young Army captain in an air-ground ops course. I arrived early and they were setting up the class seating chart by arrivals at first, they by rank (protocol). I was in the middle of the front row surrounded by colonels who adopted me. One of them was a pilot for M-D and had flown a company F4 down for the course. Took me up and we strafed oil platforms out in the Gulf for an afternoon. I think the guys who dressed me in the flight suit and other accoutrements had almost as much fun as I did.
