Hey Guys,
Sunday mornings all year with good weather The local club flies out to
breakfast. Today looked good so i fueled up and quickly hustled away from the

John Scott,
Thank you for the numbers.
I do want you to know that you KR, N1213W looks so good that I have had it's

Addiction is a terrible thing. After a 3 hour trip this morning I
just had to stop on the way home from work and do some more. Another 1.2
hours and 7 more landings and a couple airports. The KR seemed like it
was stuck on rails tonight. The pattern work was identical each time
Ok, Guys another pep talk. turn off the computer, forget the cad drawing
