Average longevity in employment while flying corporate light twin and single engine airplanes and helicopters for small companies and individuals was approximately two years, with the longest tenure for one company being seven years with the R.R. Dawson Bridge Company. The record I am proudest of and perhaps a better indicator of my flying record is the fact that I returned a total of six different times to fly on the USAF contract held by Doss Aviation of Hondo, Texas in T-41 aircraft training ROTC students in the Air Force Flight Screening Program.

Dozens of Individual aircraft owners provided their own aircraft
for individual flight training, some of which were:
The Piper J-3, and P-18, The Taylorcraft, The Luscombe, The Stinson Voyager and Station Wagon,
The Maule M-4, The Beechcraft TravelAir, Most models of the Beech Baron and Bonanzas.
The Cessna 120, 140 150, 152, 170, 172, 180, 182, 205, 206, 207, 210, and the 195. Not to mention the Cessna 310, 320 and 336, 402, 414, and 421. There were surely more, others too numerous to mention. My favorites were the Piper PA-18 (where else could you find such an agile little ship as to let you pass knife-edged on a wing between tall trees (when you were low enough to the ground)). And of course, my all time favorite: The Beech Mentor: the T-34. NASA's 707 astronaut training aircraft doesn't have anything on this little Beech when it comes to flying in Zero-G.
