Just a detail: we've a 182Q (straight-leg) and an R182 (retract). To be
fair, we rotate these between the two airports every five months.

It appears you flew in the 182Q, which is currently at Caldwell.

Shane's your mentor? Good choice!

Yes, that's correct. It was the fixed gear 182. Beautiful machine. Quite a
monster.

No...she's more of a kitten.

She's the final aircraft on which I checked out in the club, and it wasn't
all that long ago. The retract is quicker and more slippery...but 68N
*purrs*. I kid not. It must be the different engine.

Well I was coming from the C 172P they have at the school there ... so the
step up from the beat up ole' Skyhawks of the school to your 182 was quite a
shocker.

And in answer to what you said before, yes Shane is a GOOD man!

Whereas I checked out in 68N after having completed a checkout (and complex
endorsement) in the retract. Laugh Perspective is everything, I suppose.

Meeting more people like Shane is definitely one of the PFC benefits.
