I'm the guy who is blessed to be the new owner of N9638M, and I'm thrilled to have it. Justin and Travis, A&P, worked exceptionally hard at wrapping up final details on the plane before I picked it up, and flying it to E13 then to E01 was a real joy. I am glad to now have Justin as a friend, and if anyone has any questions about the M20C, he has great breadth and depth of knowledge about them as well as many other aircraft.
Thanks again Justin, and I'll keep you posted as I finish re-training and get back in the air on my own.
BTW - I know you warned me about "getting on my toes on final", but I didn't quite get that done properly on Thursday's flight, but my landing on Saturday during training was almost perfect. On final, I said out loud "I'm on my toes" several time. So, now I really have added the "T" to the GUMPS check list.
