are we un confused yet ?

1500 HOURS IN 2 YEARS AVERAGES ABOUT 3 HOURS A DAY given some time off to spend withthe horses and sleeping and reading and planning and ....
I mix 1500 hours between three types, Cherokee Six Seneca and B200
I have a planned training schedule and have at the moment six different pilots who offered to fly the left and right hand seats as required when required.
I can fly MY aeroplane when I want and where I want and not where someone else wants to go and I fly in all and every type of weaather supported by some really experienced guys. Mixed in with full time instruction.

To me that is the best flying I can ever get and the best bit is that someone else is footing the costs of all of it. Think that beats winning the lottery ! O k so I dont get paid for flying but well you cant have everything.

Aparently I still get paid for fixing computers and teaching diving to the boss and her familiy . Hope some of you come and spend some time on the boat next year as a thank you fpor your help !
