Turning 1000

Glad to hear it!

I carry one of my copies around with me like some people may carry a
personal 'Bible' g.... My main copy is highlighted, underlined and
dog-eared and is clearly very well-used and loved! "Nothing By Chance"
and "Biplane" are two of my other favorite R. Bach books!

I just turned 200 hours today. Me and my (good looking) flight
instructor flew to Cincininati and got some skyline chili. As we were
driving the late model Jaguar curtesy car back to the FBO I had a
little moment of reflection aswell. Not too many years ago I was not at
all in the place that I'm in today.

Its funny how sometimes we need to have a big milestone in order for us
to look back and appreciate the wonderful life phenominom known as
change and progression...

No you don't. NOBODY has the perfect airplane for getting an initial
CFI. The perfect airplane for that ALWAYS belongs to someone else,
because the FAA will try to ground it.

I know what you mean. A friend of mine had his Mooney checkride airplane
grounded by the Birmingham FSDO because the tail # was painted in an
"insufficiently contrasting color" - it was the factory paint job.

Ask Tina what I did when she was landing my
airplane at P'ville two years ago.

That was two years ago. I seem to recall you were pretty relaxed when
I landed it.

Anyway, I'm not suggesting you do primary instruction. When you teach
landings, it's a much more visceral thing - they're trying to kill you
right now. Flying instruments, it takes longer for stuff to happen,
and there's more time to recover - it's more of a mental thing.

Yeah, I'm still considering it. After the airplane gets done with the
fixups I have planned, I just might do it.

Mine also.
At one time I made a booklet containing just the sayings.
I may have to make another copy.

If you ever go to an airport with a MillionAir they always have a
Jaguar as the curtesay car. Or at least the one in Cincinnati (Lunken)
and Columbus. Thats why we always go there

It was funny how we were both really cautious with our driving when the
Jag only costs maybe 80 thousand, but the bonanza we flew there in is
worth multiple times that...

Right. This guy has GOT to be a troll.

Unless his hand just slipped, and he really meant to type "Impala" or "1984
Crown Victoria"...

Were they loaning you an XK-R? Only the XK-R's have sticker prices over
$80K. A quick look at http://www.Jaguar.com shows that an X-type can be as
little as $31,495.

No, I'm dead serious. Go to Lunken Airport in Cincinatti Ohio. Make
sure you use Millionaire. Ask for the curtesy car. It will be either a
green or black Jag S-type. They have a deal with a local car rental
place which is how they can afford them. Do a google search for "jaguar
millionaire fbo"

And I just guessed on the price. I definitely remember it being a
S-type. And it was definitely a V8, so acording to Jaguar's website the
car cost ~$50K
