Perhaps My Final Flight - 06/04/20 02:59 AM
As we say in England, a turn up for the books.
After everything I've been through, especially the family matters, I have to go on meds for hypertension, perhaps for the rest of my life.
Just as I've reached a point where I'm getting enough money together to get currency back on my pilots license. Bugger! I feel that it's the responsible and expected thing to do to stop flying, so my final flight will be 35 minutes of aerobatics in a Robin tomorrow morning 08:30 WST. I have the option to get this one put on DVD, so hopefully in a few days I should have a fun Youtube upload.
Whilst I'm a little sad, I've had my license since I was 26, now 53, so I got a reasonable run I guess. I realise there are many people out there who can't achieve the dream, so I'll think myself lucky as I do one final approach.
C'est la vie
