Boy this guy sounds like quite the character. I am hoping to meet him one day. I am still in the student phase of my training, but quickly realized that renting the beat up 152 for $90/hr was like throwing money down the toilet.
I fell in love with 73J as soon as I pulled her up. A quick confession, i have been lurking on this site since 2004 when the flying bug first bit me, only took me 5 years to start lessons :-)
