Thanks guys.

There is something about hand flying an aircraft near it's service ceiling 2 to 3 knots above stall speed for an hour that can wear you out. Get my profile updated and I am rocking. I guess I'll get the Concorde rating one day.

Thanks again

It is nice being associated with a VA that never gets old or boring, and the guys you get to know here are the greatest.
