Good morning Mr. Phelps... (sorry, just had to say that)

I learned to fly back in '83. Started in a Traumahawk, moved to
Warrior and Archer post-solo. Flew an Archer with HSI and 3-axis
coupled autopilot  on my long X-Country.

Flew a lot of time in 172's, the later ones with all the pretty stuff in
the panel (not the new generation).

Was right on track at the 'Flying Country Club' to move on up into
the 182s, the RGs, the Mooney, the Bonanzas. The kind of planes
I grew up flying in.

Yet I was bored and took some years off flying as a result.

Came back, was still bored by the 172.

Caught some time in a 7AC, and in a Stearman, discovered I liked
flying again. Put a Quicksilver MX and a Comanche side-by-side,
and ask me which I want to fly today, and unless we've somewhere
to go, I'll go sit in the Quicksilver and dare you to get me out.

Progress is what you make of it.

Greg
