Well Dave, that just means you have to fly with friends in the mean time. I hope all works out soon for you. It's been so long since we actually caught up in person anyway, so send me an email or give a call and we will set something up. I am thinking of flying on April 11th with the quakertown pilots group for breakfast again, I could pick you up at q-town if you wanted.
