Paul Tomko's Aviation Page
View My Logbook I am a private pilot with about 140 hours. I have an instrument rating as well. In a few years, I hope to get a commercial rating, and also multi-engine training. My CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) is Bill Gensler. My plans for this web-site include online stories of my various piloting adventures and 'firsts'. I also plan to add more links to other useful aviation web sites such as manufacturers. I hope to own an airplane someday. It will take a lot of saving. I may even have to go into a partnership. Airplanes are more expensive to purchase and maintain than automobiles. My dream airplane is a twin engine, possibly turboed prop. It would be pressurized, could fly up to 30,000 feet, cruise at 200 knots or more, and carry 6 people and their luggage comfortably. Avionics would include a GPS, moving map, weather radar, anti-collision instrumentation, radios with standby frequencies, mode C transponder, and active noise reducing headsets. I'd guess that this sort of airplane would cost about $130,000 for a 70's era craft.
