Hi All...

Long time no post!!

I commited aviation today, albeit somewhat unexpectedly.

The death of my father combined with my weird work schedule have kept me on
the ground since late January.

I'm very sorry to hear about your father's passing.

I even learned a new little saying to add to my repetoir: "3-2-1-Go"

Meaning:

3 - Chains
2 - Fuel Caps
1 - Oil Diptstick
Go - Good to go fly

Hey, that's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!


Man did it ever feel *GREAT* to get back in the air!!!

Congratulations on getting back up in the air. It's been a while for me
too, given all the nasty wet weather we're having here in Sacramento
these days.

The main thing that kept me from going back and renting at the FBO where
I trained was the lack of insurance. The FBO was covered, but as it didn't
include me as a named insured and didn't have a no subrogation clause, I
was still at risk in the event of an accident.

I decided that I would need to carry my own insurance which would not only
cover my liability, but also the cost of the airplane (in the event the
FBO's insurance company came after me for the damages).

However, this was just too expensive.

Was this not a concern for you?

.... just curious.


Regards to all...
