About $5000.

2. How in the heck do you get that much time away from work?


I got tons of vacation time laid in.

On the missed from that approach he gives me vectors

the DH where he tells me to pull off the goggles,
continue to the DH but then climb back up and circle
to the other runway (since we're still got a hefty
tail wind). Land, taxi in. Checkride over.


Great story, Ron -- and great job! Congratulations!

Two questions:

1. How much?
2. How in the heck do you get that much time away from work?

How do you get all of OSH away from work? You MAKE the time. I'm glad
he did. So Jay, if RON can do it you must be next. Damned, I have to
find something new to pick on Ron for ;-)

True, but OSH isn't optional. Not after 24 years.

And our absence routinely pushes our small staff to the breaking point,
and occasionally beyond. (We lost our night manager this year, after
OSH '06. Being gone 8 days was apparently too much for him...)

Ok, for those of you that have asked. Here are the details. As Margy
said we had a Knights of the Vine Black Tie wine tasting dinner the
night before the ride so I conked out when I got back from our
celebratory lunch.

Great story, Ron!
Congratulations on the IR and the new writing on the certificate.

Well, it's about time!

It's been a few years since that cookout at your place where
you mentioned nagging him...

Congratulations Ron!
