Donna and I want to wish all of our Pulsar friends a very Merry Christmas. This is our favorite time of year and we are hoping you have a great Christmas with family. We have special plans to celebrate twice as it is difficult to get the whole family together, eight grand kids and their families makes for a great time. I will be smoking a twenty pound, bone in whole ham and expect we will only have the bones left for navy beans at a future meal, but lots of good memories. We hope you have a great holiday and look forward to seeing you in the new year.
I would like to solicit your feedback and experience with noise canceling head sets. Last month I was fitted with hearing aids and just adjusting to all the sounds I was apparently not hearing. Today, I flew the Pulsar with the hearing aids and was totally surprised at all the noise and it was rather difficult to hear the radio. Some of my airport friends suggest to fly without the hearing aids and use a noise canceling headset. Looking online, there are many to choose from and prices range from $80 to $300. I am temped to try a cheap set to see how that will work. What has been your experience?
The Jabiru engine in the Pulsar is still performing well, just pilot needs to fly more often. In this cooler weather, it really scoots down the runway and is air born very quickly with climb over 1,000 fpm. Landing was fantastic, greased the wheels on, hit the brakes and made the first turn off. Love the Pulsar. After twenty seven years, it still flies great,
Take care, enjoy the family and the holidays, be safe,
Greg

Dear Greg,
on the occassion of your Christmast mail, I want to return your Christmas greetings. There is not much to add, besides, that we put two 15lbs turkys into the oven to feed 22 mouths on the 26th (St.Stephan). Besides all the odds, it was a good year, as our sister in law
united with a wonderful young gentleman who happend not to find the right partner to found a familiy so far. Almost a miracle. The two boys love him too.
Flying has not such a priority anymore, but the two planes are operated regularly. In November I joined a friend of mine, who owns a C182RG, to fly with him and family to Marocco and back. One might not have an idea who difficult it became in Europe for small GA planes to organize such a trip. Restricted airspace, availability of Avgas, Landing restrictions on lager airports, mandatory use of handling agents, a.s.o.. In Bologna/Italy we payed 400 USD for a night stop. It was a real challenge 26hours within 8 days.
Merry Christmas and all the luck available for 2024.
PS: I am planing a flying trip in the US next spring. Maybe we make it this time to Kentucky.
