A bit of carefull planning will allow a good chunk of the VFR touring, being IFR just allows even more. I REALLY do like the plastic hot ships, if they were IFR legal I would get one in a shot. Who would turn down high speed, economy and good looks for a 25yr old spam can? |

Any help will be appreciated. |
Not a fight Bosey, was just arguing that it IS possible to tour VFR. How many of your 472 hours either was or could have been VFR?
IO - IMC? :oh: :ok: Though I do admit to having to divert twice in '06 due weather. Definately not exceptional BTW, with the reduced running costs of a permit a/c many people fly far more and far further than they used to in their spam can days - I certainly do. |
