Well, no, actually. This is the 415-CD later converted to 415-D that I bought January 30, 1979. Together, we've been to Martha's Vinyard on the Atlantic side, a few feet over the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, to the Canadian border and a few points in between. About 600-700 hours worth. It was made in April 1947, has a C-85 engine (converted from C-75), an aggressive climb prop, and it is N3802H. There's no way I could wait till June to pick her up. Could you leave your wife staying with another man for a month? Avemco was very cooperative with insurance and my policy allows me to fly with an instructor or with another licensed pilot who would be pilot-in-command until I get my medical back. I will be flying very soon now I sincerely hope. I'm planning to be at Jacksonville from Wednesday through Sunday, June 4-8. Unless I change my mind, I'll probably stay at Motel 6. Then when my wife and 2-year-old come down Friday or Saturday, we'll have an established place to stay. I am planning to have the plane there. I hope to have my car there, too, if appropriate shuttling can be arranged. Ed Burkhead
