Kicking and Screaming ....

An interesting day to say the least. Most of my day was spent in a seminar for pilots who have not flown as PIC for a bit. The seminar is often referred to as a “Rust Remover” or “Rusty Wings”. While I could recall some of the material, other pieces of information were not so familiar.

After the class the rest of the day at the Club was spent at a Board meeting where I helped the Club spend a gazzion dollars and the Club helped me move in to the 21st century – kicking and screaming but still moving forward. We are going to purchase a couple of Katana’s for our training fleet. At one point I recall remarking, rather passionately, “Hell would freeze over before I flew one of those”. Yes well … guess I’m eating some crow – not unusual for me as I DO have the good graces to accept sound arguments. Frankly, my heart belongs to Cessna but practically the Diamond products, manufactured in Canada, are waaaaayyyy cheaper to run. Ugly little buggers, though. Oh well, I suppose it is about time I moved from the 20th to the 21st.
