Yes, it's been a good year for flying and an
awful year financially
Went to Florida, got the FAA IR and an unrestricted FAA PPL to attach it to. Nearly got an FAA CPL; decided not to bother, given no need ever to fly commercially. FAA issued me a CPL anyway. Sent it back.
Not enough flying after that. Kept the IR in currency, but only just. A few nice trips, but more would have been nicer.
Next goal? To get the aeroplane back from the painters at Biggin tomorrow...
