Default The First Thousand Hours

Great job. I passed my 1000 hours this summer. I took a little longer to
achieve. I first started in 1970 at a little 1800' airport near KC MO. I
got my commercial, then moved away and could not afford to fly for a
couple of years. Moved again to TX and started flying again. Then kids
activities stopped me aging for about 4 to 5 years. At the suggestion of
a friend, he said to use his plane to get current again and I have been
flying since. 9 years ago (has it been that long) I bought my Skyhawk. 4
years ago I finally got my instrument rating. Just completed annual this
week and looking forward to get into the air. It is always fun to pull
out the log books and look at the notes that I have made. Although mine
do not seem to be as detailed as you have; just who may have been with
me, where I went, interesting weather, etc.

my ticket, I privately vowed that I would fly 1000 hours in the next ten
years.
