sternone. I should have done when I first started. I was an old fart when I started flying. I am an even older one now. I just didn't think I would fly for so long. Now I think I am too old to start all over again. One has to give up at some time. Had the weather been kind this year, I would probably have flown club hacks for a while, and maybe would have found something suitable. It's not just a case of buying an aircraft, it's finding somewhere to keep it, and not many airfields to choose from around where I live.
