(chuckles to himself)

Solo in my late P Baron, Colorado Springs to Jackson Hole, Summer 1999.
Taken West of Denver at FL240.

Alas in May of '93 a "microburst" levitated the enormous hangar door on top
of said P Baron.

Cheers
H.

Your timeline is off. Do you mean in May of 2003 your aircraft was destroyed?

He used to ride his bicycle to the airport to fly airplanes.

That's what I did when I was in college. It was downhill to the airport
(ten miles), uphill to go home.

Well, it was uphill both ways, but going to the airport it felt like
downhill.

Well, now you know two. :-)

I got my driver's license about two months after my first solo.
