I feel like I'm getting younger, regardless of how I look. :-) My enthusiam for and excitement about flying is kid-like in some ways. Except that I'm not on to a new thing in 10 minutes. My enthusiasm is sustained. And when I have a particularly good lesson or ride, I don't stop grinning for hours afterwards. Last night my friend Jim was telling me about a company who, for a large pricetag, will let one experience flying a tandem P-51. The more Jim talked about it the happier I got to feeling and the faster my heart went. Jim is very good at describing things, especially anything to do with flying. As he talked, I swear I could hear that Merlin engine. You need to understand that the P-51 and the B-17 were the first airplanes I fell in love with when I intially became interested in planes a number of years ago. A few people have accused me of being unsophisticated or ordinary for being so fond of those 2 planes rather than the more exotic/rarer aircraft of WWII. That's OK, maybe I am unsophisticated. Regardless, those two beauties hold a special place in my heart - and I do like the others too! > Once 100LL gets in the blood it don't come out. Shoulds up on all the blood > test. That does explain the weird numbers that showed up in my last blood panel. I'll clue in my doctor. He's been worried. :-) >Stay away to long and you will get withdrawal. Oh, absolutely. One week without flying is about my maximum. After that I become increasingly antsy, mumble to myself a lot, and tend to stumble when I'm walking because I'm gawking at the sky so much. I'd never been in a small plane until my intro lesson last year and now I can't go more than a week without missing it terribly. This is so addictive!

Perfect. Outstanding! I can just imagine you two.
