Re: Back in the saddle again

The video looks like your plane fell off the edge of the world. Did you survive?

Re: Back in the saddle again

Hey! Really great to see you got your medical back.

Always tricky landing a short farm paddock with trees at each end. Really makes you think about your 50ft obstacle T/O and landing distances.

Yeah, it's got quite the hump in the middle!

But, no, I don't have anything on this guy.

I took advantage of my new membership in whatever club Evan joined when he bought an airport and flew from my farm out to lunch just now. Does that count? :-)

lol!

I'm really torn on that subject. No way am I going to try and fund a hangar if we're still spending so much time in Mexico. And no way do I want to leave Mexico. And I definitely would love to have a hangar. Stupid decisions! :-)
