She came out of her extensive annual on May 1 and I have flown her almost 9 hours since then. I must say that I am pleased with how true she flys and how reliable she seems to be. That proves that if you have enough cash to throw at a suspect airplane, you might come out a winner and then you might not. I think I lucked out on this one.

I just like to go out to the ramp and look at her. So pretty and so sound. She has a full canopy cover, wing covers and horizontal covers. I just can't protect her enough. Just like my first born.

Hey, life after annual hell can be rewarding. I do need a second Nav/Com, though. I hate having to switch back and forth on those IFR routes. It seems that it is always something.

For all of you who contributed to this thread, a big thank you. Thanks to you, I have grown up enough now to take care of myself. Bonjour. Blueberry [muhbuh.com]
