I'm hanging up my headsets.
As my license drew to it's 2 year end a few months ago, I decided to keep it going so, at some expense, took a renewal and updated my medical. As I hadn't flown for a few months a number of check flights were had before I took the test again. Great, another 2 years validity.
Now I've just had notification from the CAA that my license expires in a few months time and they are looking for me to fork out some more cash to keep it going.
Really at the end of my ability to fund any flying so at 71 years of age I am hanging up my headsets and will not bother to keep valid.
Sad time for me but I've had a lot of fun and met some really good people ( and a few bad ones as well!) I am sure I will keep an eye on these forums though!
To all those who know me I wish all the best - stay safe.
