Looking Even Better
Need I say more???
In other news, I was saddened to hear of this incident involving Ilan Reich, as reported by AvWeb. I don't know the man, but he authored a very detailed guide to flying to Alaska for the Cirrus Online Pilots Association, which was supposed to doing a group flight starting tomorrow. Our 172 wouldn't keep pace with any of them, but I thought perhaps we might cross paths with some of them at some point. That still might happen, but Mr. Reich won't be with them, given his broken vertebrae and benign brain tumor. The latter appears to have caused a blackout, which led to a descent that prompted him to pull the emergency chute. Hopefully, he'll have a speedy recovery.
