Parallel line of thoughts
Kidel11. Military service, family travel plans, honey due list, life of danger, all ready for next mission, etc. I plan to fly regularly to Puerto Rico, cost is about the same, real time is less, departure runway I'm working on that, arrival no problem. I have one more tour and I will retire from the military. I started in 73, was out 6 years and came back in 86, must be a old school syndrome. Ask me about transformation, I may be going out at any time just if I you don't see me around, I will report back at my return. I learned this from a old "air wolfe" pilot, Why if the big guys avoid bad wheather, we have to adveture in it, if you and your aircraft don't become one, your not flying. I've lost good friends due to IMC. BE SAFE

Not a problem about me staying away from weather. I spent years flying attack helicopters. There is no mission that requires them to fly in IMC. Inadvertant IMC yes, but not deliberately. I spent those 7 years always quoting, "its better to be down here wishing to be up there than to be up there wishing to be down here."
I also have a "scam" I am trying to run to get me a "personal MEI." I know of a retired civil service pilot that flew C-12s out of Ft. Rucker for a longtime. I'll offer him the use of my plane to get "checked" out as an MEI in it. Then will go up with him and get his 5 hours of PIC in it so he can instruct me. I may pay for it by just letting him have access to the plane anytime that I'm not using it. All I will be out is hours on the plane and gas. Hopefully, I should know more by this weekend.
