 |
|
.. and a new era begins, for me at least. Last week I sold my Ultrastar,
having put 124.35 hours of flying time on it over 5 years (I didn't fly it
at all last year, life just got in the way). This week I expect to pick up
my new plane, an N-numbered 1992 Fisher 404 biplane that I'm buying from a
close friend. It's been in storage for a few years; hopefully I'll get it
flying in a few weeks. Tomorrow I start working on my BFR if the weather
cooperates; despite all the ultralight flying I've done over the past 10
years it's been even longer since I've logged time in an N-numbered aircraft.
I've had great fun with the Ultrastar but the last season flying it I felt
I was pushing its limits, so it's time to move on. I'll stick around here
for awhile though.
