I'm the guy, I guess, that Dan Ford was talking about. I posted a couple of
days ago that the only skill I saw atrophy with age was..interest. I went from flying B-1Bs to C-172s. I just couldn't get into it. I was spending $100+ to cruise at 20kts+ slower than B-1 touchdown speed. It's not an arrogance thing...it just isn't exciting enough for me to spend the money anymore. Jim "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:J_sjc.48848$IW1.2861618@attbi_s52... One, going from an F-102A to a 172 must be a downer. Yeah, I've often wondered how weird it must feel for an ex-military pilot to fly a Spam can. Sorta like transitioning from a Kawasaki racing bike back to a scooter, I would think? How 'bout it, Big John (or other military folks)? Is flying a lowly Skyhawk worth bothering with, after flying at Mach 2 with your hair on fire? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
