Congrats! Way to go Ron!

What was it like standing on the rudder pedals all that time?


Does he have any tips on preventing blood clots? Was he on
1) plavix 2) coumadin 3) asprin ? or did he use an inflatable pump
driven device to massage his calves in flight? If the latter, how did
he power it for 12 hours in the 1-26?
What about the loss of bone mass due to the
prolonged period of immobilization? What's recommended for that?
This is going to be a bigger problem in the future, now that he's
thrown down the guantlet. What does the Cherokee Guy say?
Is he going to take up the challenge - 12+ hours in the Cherokee
over Iowa?
