Well, my bird just turned 1! I just completed the first annual inspection
of 41768. It has faired well for all the distance flown and places gone. 275
hours on the hobbs right now and Lord willing, many more to come. We have
been to many states and visited many people, and covered thousands of miles.
I thank the Lord for the safety He has provided so far and the many enjoyable
hours spent. There have been a couple times of concern and apprehension
and lessons learned - especially dealing with weather. I hope to have learned
these lessons and continue to fly with care and planning. The only changes
done to 41768 since last year are the addition of wheel pants and the new
cowling. The year to come promises to be exciting. A new turbo engine
package
is waiting and the long awaited trip to South America is fast approaching. I
will try to keep you all informed.
To all who are building ... FINISH! This year has to be one of the top
for me. I hope to inspire you to finish, learn to fly well, and start to see
the world out there. You are all welcome to visit here in Southern Georgia
when you start.
See you at the Gathering!
Bill and 41768
