Corporate pilots returns to the dark side

Hi everyone, it's been a while that I have been gone on beechtalk talking with the other high and fast crowd. We I finally feel fit to return to the ranks of a BC pilot. Yesterday I went and gave a new home to a special old lady.

Say to NC 2964M

I have about 4 hours on her so far coming home from Maine at 85kts...hard to swallow after zipping everywhere in a king air for the last year but I'm adapting. She flies hands off and is a dream on the water! Plans to keep it on floats for the next month or two and then find some skis for the winter.

It's been in Maine for the last 12 years and a real nice gentleman gave me a very fair price I could not resist. It's a dream come true for sure. Can't wait to get out and meet some of you all now at some events. While my King Air does an amazing short field it's not much for the fly-in's. This should allow me to start having some fun again in the sky!

Gorgeous!

I just have to say that I'm really enjoying all the updates from you New England guys. I learned to fly there and still pine for Vermont some days. Thanks!
