Yet another annual story - nice short happy one
(note the term "annual" and not merely "annual inspection")
Well, my cherokee 140 has survived another year. The annual started Thursday at about 11:30am and we tucked the airplane back in the hangar at 4pm Friday. The downside being I was unable to assist with this annual due to post-surgery limitations. :-( -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |

How long for your recovery? Everything go ok? How long does it take for the ribs to heal after chest surgery? It's 9 weeks and counting... But, yes, everything seems to be going ok.

You suck! ah, well, given how much money and time I spent on the airplane from July 2002 to Feb 2003 (everything, I mean everything firewall forward was removed and overhauled or replaced with new), I think I won't complain about nice short easy happy annuals. I think I deserve a few. -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |

I think I deserve a few. (In Darth Vadar's voice "You think you are being treated....unfairly?" In my experience, "fairness" and "airplane ownership" are diametrically opposed when it comes to maintenance costs. True, staying on top of maintenance is usually going to save you money in the long run, but, dang, if some stupid things just don't BREAK once in a while, for no apparent reason. Glad you got away with a cheap annual...but I don't ever count on it! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
