Thanks, guys.
I think that the "approved" check airman thing is what would probably get in my way. Funny, I'm perfectly okay to fly a foreign-registered Jumbo into LAX or JFK, but if I flew my own little puddle jumper out of an uncontrolled airport, then I need a BFR. Where's the logic in that?
The whole reason I was asking this is because I got an e-mail from the EAA regarding webinars that give you credit towards this Wings program. Has anyone done one of these? How many credits do you get per webinar, and how many do you need to alleviate the need to do a BFR? Do you just listen to one of these things, or are there exams? I tried to look it up, but you have to sign up for one to get the detailed information. I might do that if it proves to be easier and cheaper than renting a 300-hour wonder instructor.
