This is certainly a pickle. I would hire someone to fly it to you, then the pressures would be taken off. before you nay-say it, take a pencil to paper and look at the costs. You can find a budding professional aviator that would love to have another 15 hours of any flying in his log book. Hate to say this but they'll probably do it for expense money. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dr. R.
