Well, the saying that the third time is the charm certainly is the case
for me and my two partners. Today, two of us closed the deal on a very
nice '71 Arrow and flew part of the way home. As I write this, I'm in
Farmington, New Mexico. We started the day at Front Range airport in
Colorado. Only made it 150 miles closer to home but this was the best
we could do given the weather conditions and a later afternoon start.

Planning on posting pictures somewhere and more details when I get home
but just wanted to post a quick note to say I'm officially a co-owner.
I got a chance to fly N2104T yesterday and log my first 1.2 hours of
complex time. My second time as PIC will be tomorrow morning.

It's a sweet Arrow. Very nicely maintained and by far the nicest one we
looked at. I don't think it's really sunk in yet. I've been rather
quiet about all of this and things have happened really fast. The ad
popped up in TAP just under two weeks ago and picked up speed quickly.


Congratulations, Jack!

So how do you manage the insurance issues while flying the complex
airplane; Do you have enough time already to satisfy them, or do
you have to pay a higher premium?

Perhaps one of these days, we can meet and I can have a look at
your new baby?

I hope you have a great flight home.
