My ol bucket of bolts flies again!!

[RocketAviator]

Well I think some of you might have even heard me tonight around 9:00pm... maybe even all the way to CA!!! or it might have been the shop that I had do the work when they finally heard me say OK I accept!

 

While it is long overdue and there has been an uncountable amount of email & phone exchange of "to do" & "to check and confirm" I arrived on Sunday and then after 2 more days (yep we worked all day on Sunday) of extensive review and with a little over 2.5 hours of flight I finally accepted my ol bucket of bolts!

 

Lord Willing I will be flying her home tomorrow.

 

I bet these guys are more than a little glad to have me gone!!! LOL

 

Glad to have my plane back, was beginning to think it would never happen.  I almost forgot how thrilling it is to cruise along at 182kts TAS today!

 

I hope I never go through anything like that again! Most important Thanks again to all my Mooney friends who extended and provided so much support to me during all this.  You know who you are and I won't forget all of you!  

 

Thanks again.

Fly safe

Rocket On....

Who did the work for you?

Congrats! Enjoy the Rocket!

Congratulations!  I bet you are itching to be flying again.  If I go more than a week or two without flying I begin to fill the "hunger" to get back at it.  Have fun!

Hey thanks Alan.  I was fortunate to have my other airplane a Saratoga which I flew for about 25 hrs while the Rocket was being repaired up until I sold it this last month. 

I have about 9.5 hrs all but 2.5 hrs were cross country on the Rocket since I picked it up this week.

It was a little intimidating at first but getting easier as I build more time in the Rocket.

Thankful for the opportunity to fly the Rocket again and I do enjoy it for sure!

Lacee did you get info and contact re AZ?  Next weekend at Copperstate ...

I did they suggested it was for advanced formation & I may be better suited for an introductory class.

I guess after my incident they are having second tights....

Just kidding but I'm looking forward to going as soon as it is appropriate.
