      zulaab u must done your flyin out at hobby with fletchers huh.  they were the ones in town with the grumman fleet.  i worked there for awhile.  I fly for ExpressJet now.
      Yes !!  Maybelle Fletcher at Hobby airport in 1990.   I left Cliff Hyde Flying Service when I learned from behind my back that Cliff Hyde was never going to allow me to get my commercial there, because he didnt want overweight people to be in the business.
      I left after getting my Instrument Ride there.
      Took my instrument ride actually out of Ellington Field at the Ellington Aero Club back in 1990.  Cliff Hyde told me I needed an additional 20+ hours of instruction before he would let me take my exam.  I went to the aero club where I already was a member and was given my sign off after 3.3 hours (3.0 hours of instruction is needed by a CFI to give a sign off).  I passed with flying colors the examiner said.  He said he was very impressed with my flying.

      Then I went to Fletcher Aviation and took my commercial and Multi.
      I have not flown an airplane since 1995 :(  out of money and other reasons.

          Hmmm...get a very posh, private residence; put majority of capital in max interest funds, then invest in sheltered property and set up multi corps to reduce liability and tax . Commission a hardcore bike builder to build my specific ride, with all the trick parts I'd need to cruise solo or 2 up; set up untouchable fund for my daughter til she's 21, and a family corporation to disperse unsecured loans to all my neices, nephews, and cousins as they grow up; get house in Central America, Israel, somewhere on the Eastern Seaboard; hire zulaab to pilot me various destinations on demand; build amazing fish environments; and start a Doberman breeding plantaiton.
          Visit Thailand, Japan, Sweden, Denmark, Dubai, and Brazil, then South Africa. Hire secretary to take all calls and make appointments for people who want to contact me; change all my phone and address listings and numbers, expunge all personal info in the public record I can; hire a personal personal trainer and have several surgeries. Rejoin the HFB as Daddy Bigbucks.
          Gee, I hadn't really thought about it...

              IF I won the lottery I would invest half, give away 1/4, and blow a 1/4 of the winnings.

                1st thing I would change my phone number. Then buy an island with the worlds largest fish tank (the ocean).
                Of course I would take care of all my daughters needs & my close friends & relatives. Then my wife & I can live off of whats left.

                  I'm afraid I would not know how to act, I might get all snobby and act like I'm somthing special, maybe even start bad mouthing a few freinds of mine just for fun.....oh hell....that's who I am now.....Nope, it would not affect me at all..... :)

                    I could live on a shore, had a boat to go fishing and owned a restaurant/club with a stage for customers to tell fish stories.

                        Re: what if u won the lottery???

                        the usual.. pay off debt, spread to family.. houses.. cars.. boats.. invest.. savings..

                        now on to the good stuff.

                        freshwater fish tank 25' x 8' x 6' (like the one at fish gallery, but on steroids)

                        same for a saltwater set up..

                        as for the fish id like to travel the world and catch them.  except, for the saltwater. i can just go to galveston (imagine a native saltwater tank.. awesome).
                        freshwater: rare peacock bass, fw stingrays, payaras. african tiger fish...

                        saltwater: redfish, speckle trout, flounder, black drum, mackerel, sting rays....

                        as you can see.. ive thought bout this numerous times.
                        ahhhh i can only dream.

                              I'd square away my folks, and give some to close family, and friends

                              I then would put half to 3/4 of what was left into a high yield account

                              with the rest I would buy a good chunk of land, probably up in the hill country, overlooking lake travis, or something overlooking a small valley, I would then build my custom home, (plans were drawn up back in school 8) ) the house's main feature would be the two story curved glass wall, as the rest would almost entirely be built into the hillside. after that was done, I would sit on it for a few years, and then begin buying my dream cars.

                                I'd be rich.
