I love it! Unfortunately we don't allow jumpseaters. "Non pas Cool!"
We are not operating under part 121. I cannot jumpseat either. Small price to pay for job stability nowadays!

F-15 driver for the USAF. Love the master caution light experience in the 993. As this thread lives, more folks will chime in. There are a bunch of pilots on this forum.

Naval aviator here... and yup, definitely got a kick out of the master caution feature, not to mention all the pure engine monitoring gauges and spartan cockpit of the 911. I think there might be more of a correlation between pilots and 993 drivers with the fact that we are all thrill seekers in some shape or form.... adrenaline junkies if you will. The 993 definitely offers her own share of thrills especially if you get the opportunity to open her up on the track. Good to meet some fellow pilots. Fly Safe!

I'm an ex - Mooney 201 driver (private).
Like NightFlyer, I got a 993 instead of getting back into general aviation, and have no regrets. I find the close proximity of the instrument panel reminds me of the one in my Mooney.

Commercial/Instrument Single Engine Land pilot here. But my day job for the last 12 years is being a USAF navigator on a highly specialized variant of the Boeing C-135 that is designed to do "stuff". Oh, and I did spend 3 years "flying" a plane with a 116 foot wingspan that could stay airborne for 30+ hours at 10 miles in the sky from a box on the ground.
