Hanging up your headset

Hi Paul,

I agree with Mary; it's time to go.

However, remember one thing, FLYING IS A NARCOTIC and like booze or tobacco you can never ever be sure you are free of it.

I gave up flying in 1969 but throughout all the succeeding years found myself looking skywards whenever something flew past.

Then in 2002 I felt an overwhelming need to come back.

I flew from 2005 to 2008 when the financial effects of the 'Credit Crunch' damaged my finances and put paid to it.

So I haven't flown for six years - but still read Pprune daily.

Now I find myself once again looking, with longing eyes, this time at the three axis microlight category which looks like cheaper flying.

Should I? Who knows - perhaps...

Good luck Paul,

BP.
