    finally...

    Hello,

    At last I found the time to expand my flight license!

    After a simple navigation flight, I talked the the instructor to plan the lesson for the conversion to Piper (4-seater). As he couldn't on Friday, I couldn't on Saturday, and other times the plane was reserved, he asked "Can you manage this afternoon?". While I hadn't anticipated that, I agreed.
    So we went to the plane, started the checks (took longer, as the cockpit is more extensive and unfamiliar) and took off. First some manoeuvres in flight (stalls, turns, autopilot), then a number of landings (including simulated engine failure on take off and other simulated emergencies). Everything went perfect, so now I can also fly the Piper Archer PA-28!
    And man, what a plane: so much more power! Superb!

    Now I can truly start some longer distance flights... :-)

              I've got another solution. A couple tons of Semtex that will keep you in orbit for a while. You'll need a bit shielding but that will cost you more than the dodgy guys you ask for the explosive in the first place.

              Alternatively you can eat beans for 12 months and we'll see you when you land.
