Finally got back into the air this weekend after almost 8 months of downtime from a stent to the heart! The FAA says that there is a minimum 3 month wait time for the type and location of the stent I had implanted.
YEAH RIGHT! Try 8 months to get thru their system and that is if you do everything correctly the first time!
Oh well, it felt good to get back in the air!
The plane performed flawlessly!
Even made it to a nearby airport's open house event. Was handed a $10 food voucher when I got out of the plane for the airport's very nice restaurant! Then I was treated to $2.20/gal avgas.... all just for showing up with an airplane!
SCORE! It does not get any better than that!
I'm back in the saddle again!

Way to go Brian! With all the government hoops you've had to jump through I think we have found the obvious call sign for you.
Hoops!
Hoops!

Brian,
This is GREAT news!
I was worried I'd be without an Oshkosh running partner....You're a critical part of my morning routine to burn off the Hangover CJ contributed to the night before! Hope you can make Oshkosh this year!!
