Dan,
Congratulations on achieving the millenium milestone. I am just
about to reach my 500hrs mark and looking forward to add more flying
hours. We will be joining Skyark soon then Angle Flight once we gain
more IFR flying experience.
I have learned quite a few things from reading your posts especially
about XMweather. I had just ordered a T43 laptop with bluetooth and
will add an LCD touchscreen display for XMweather.
You are right that the more we fly, the more we want to fly. I have
enjoyed every single trip and hardly turned down an opportunity to be
up in the air.
Like you, we will most likely stay with our 'starter' plane, a
Cardinal, for many years to come. At 120kts, it is not a speed demon
but many times, I have slowed it down to approach speed to stretch my
hours on the air to enjoy the views below and around. Life is fabulous
when you can experience it in 3 dimensions.
