Back in the Saddle Again!

Fri Dec 23, 2011 9:10 am

Well, I'm Back in the Saddle Again!
For Christmas, I got my flight review done and checked out in a Cessna 172 at the same time.
I've been on the ground so to speak, since Dec. 2004, so it was great to get back in the sky!

I use to fly Warriors and Sundowners because those were what the local FBO's were renting in large numbers. Though I've been flying since 1978 and I've flown 172's before, I never checked out in them officially.
So here's the warning, if you're flying around Connecticut, look out, there's an old terror back in the skies...and it be me!!!
Merry Christmas!
Jerry

Welcome Back!!!!

I was at BDR on Sunday doing touch n go's with my student. Controllers are great there. Listen up for Cessna N7340X. We usually gas up at 3 Wings before heading back to ISP.

That is the same plane I’ve been trying to do my BFR in, but wind, sick and schedule has kept me down for a week.

Who is/was our CFI, I’m flying with Joey.
