Radgirl - you are lucky, in conformance with a NOTAM issued at TDCF here in Dominica I went to fly a few circuits a week ago - no go said the airport manager.

So my aiplane which had been sitting for a month did not get flown.

In a week I will not be current.

Now here's the interesting bit - there are only two airplanes in this country - anticipating how bad this would get I had a fifty hour check done on the plane and decided to fly as little as possible - offered to fly any thing or anyone the government wanted, at my exp11ense I should add. Now because of an idiot, if they want it I'll not he current and there is a fair chance that in any case there is a fair chance that something will have seized or otherwise be in need of maintenance. I have therefore had to withdraw the offer, if for no other reason than to save the embarrasment of bring asked and then having to decline when a problem is found - it should go without saying that there is no maintenance in this country.

So consider yourself lucky that you can fly, with or without anyone else.
