Jack,

Great to hear! Also glad to hear you got that VOR problem resolved ;-)

By the way, our club now owns a brand new 172SP with the G1000!
I don't think I'm going to be flying it thought, but it sure looks nice!
I think the hourly rate is going to be something like $115 wet.

That's awesome! They're charging about that same price for old 172's at
Exec.

That's right. I did most of my training at SkyWalk, which was charging over
$100 for a 70's-era 172 with a GNS 430. I"m sure the prices are much higher
now. I tried to look at their rates online, but the site is broken ;-(

I love the club - not just the wet rate, but the insurance that is included
as well.

Too bad I"m on the wrong side of town. Davis is a long drive from
Folsom ;(

You don't really need to rent anyway, do you? On the other hand, if all
you want is access to a G1000-equipped airplane, the monthly dues for
the club are only $20 (although you have to maintain flight currency
in type at least every two months).

I can just imagine you flying to Davis to pick up the G1000 and go
fly it around :-)

Davis is about a 30 minute drive for me, so it's not too bad. Now the
smell of the cows ... that's another issue all together! ;-)
I'm a city boy, after all.
