Congratulations, Rob! AVL is beautiful when you can see it. Don't be intimidated coming down through the clouds and seeing hilltops poking up. My parents live near there, and my wife has some great shots of Biltmore House as we've gone past on nice days. Don't worry about hours, get the procedures down pat! It's a sobering thought the first time you enter a cloud by yourself--can't just take off the foggles for VFR conditions, and there's no instructor to help or remind you if you're forgetting something.

One more thing... If you have any plans to fly to the Vineyard please e-mail me at: mark.alexander@invpro.com I am a Financial Advisor on my own clock and I can give good advice and walk out of my office at any time.

I am very willing to host a fly-in to Martha's Vineyard. In fact if any Mooney lovers fly here I can loan them a car or two and if you can drive a Harley I can loan you one of those. I know reasonable places to stay (especially in spring or fall). Personally, I love to order a large brass tin filled with numerous hot lobsters lined up like sardines and serve them with ceasar salad and champagne. Around here if tourists like us, we like them. Starting in November the bay scallops come in. (There's no end to good stuff, oysters Rockefeller with Gruyiere cheese.) Je peux parlez francais aussi!

Yesterday I flew from Guatemala to the beach and landed on a grass strip and taped it. So here it goes. I hope you enjoy it.
