Thanks Dave, and my IFR is current.

Here's a story that a CFI in Tucson, AZ told me some years ago.

One Friday, a rancher came up to him and said that he had just bought a
plane and wanted to learn to fly that weekend. My friend started to
outline the steps to a private when he was interrupted with, "No, No, I
just want to learn to fly this weekend!" After some discussion, my
friend realized he had a couple of days to teach this man. On Monday,
he flew his plane home. Did the CFI do right? I don't know, but he
probably kept the rancher from trying to fly with no instruction.

Also, the charts in the AZ area show ranches, I think it's because
most have an airstrip of sorts and the rancher has a plane. Licenses?
Who knows.

I have an ex-boss who flew IFR with years without a rating.
For all I know, he still does.

That doesn't make right....


Hours later, it occurs to me that a reader here might think I was
referring to a far more recent ex-boss, one who posts here.

I was not.

When I worked for Chuck, he was spending all his money on boats err
MMU's not AMU's. I don't even know if he'd been in a GA aircraft
back then.

The ex-boss I referred was long ago, before I went to engineering
school...and about 65% of Chuck's size. He fit into a Mooney.
