![]() I confess: It's been since December since I've last been up. I did try one time since, but my headset broke. And I didn't think it would be this long until my next attempt. But work, kids, weather...all conspired to keep me ground-bound...until today. I'm out of every currency possible; even passenger carrying day currency. I've never even been out of IFR currency before! How many people reading this are in the same situation? So I grabbed a flight instructor, and started banging off some rust. Today was VFR; I've time planned next week for IFR rust. It was awesome. After I was done, I was asking myself how I could possibly have let it go so long. It's easy, I think, for the memory of an experience to fade unnoticed. The things that bring joy into our lives degrade into merely "nice". What's irreplaceable becomes a minor desire. If you're like me, and have let some time pass between your last flight, then trust me: you'll be grateful to yourself for getting back up there. - Andrew |

I own my airplane (and pay the bills), so I'm always out of currency. :-)) John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200704/1 |

You shouldn't need six lucky numbers. In most states 4 or 5 can be enough for GA. :-) |
