very true man. I should start preflighting the sim just to make it more realistic. or call WX brief and talk to Lockheed for 15 minutes before I hop in.

good points all around, and an even better blog. thanks for writing.

I tried to the contact address but with no joy. CND4 Haliburton/Stanhope is not on the map display?

David, You should have called. I work for beer, or flight hours but do cut down your useful load by a large factor!

Sorry to hear your plane wasn’t as ready as you were but at least we got to see the sun for a moment.

Thanks, Louis. Not a bad suggestion on a day like today: I could even overlook the fact that all the club planes have the wings attached in the wrong place, up above the doors instead of underneath them. Do you have a new valet service, so that I don’t have to read over the journey log, and uncover, untie, preflight, and refuel the plane?

Seriously, when my plane’s actually working, I like being able to take it on long family trips, business trips, etc. and just park it at a different airport for a week. I like the 665 lb full-fuel useful load, the 125 kt true airspeed, and even the scratched-up, hard-to-see Stormscope mounted under the yoke(?!?). I guess I’m fond of the old hunk of aluminum, despite all my complaining: it fits me like an old sweater.
