Congratulations on getting the plane back, even at such a cost. Ouch.


Can't wait to get back into a regular flying routine. Those first few
instrument approaches should be a hoot seeing as a mere five flights ago
was my check ride.


Well, just don't wait 5 months from the check ride to see how well you
remember it all ;-\ It sucks!

Yeah, it's painful...or at least it will be when I actually write the
check for my portion of the bill. Just gotta keep saying that it could
be 3X more.

Roger that! I'm sure that after "just" a month and a half off from
flying has allowed rust to accumulate. I'm looking forward to knocking
it off though.
