So I last flew on April 7. It is May 3. Yes, I had a business trip in early April and I spent a week in Israel visiting my parents. But the main reason I haven’t been flying is that N464CD has been getting its annual inspection. What everyone told me about annuals is that they will cost twice as much as you think and they will take twice as long. The Murphy’s law of airplane annuals, I guess. But they were wrong. My plane has been in the shop for 2 weeks and 3 days – but who’s counting? Meanwhile, it’s spring. Saturday was a gorgeous, warm, clear and calm day. And, instead of flying, my plane was in a hangar. I am trying practice the fine art of aviation patience. Meanwhile I am studying for my pilot knowledge test – trying to put in enough study hours so I can pass it next week. Do I sound frustrated and anxious to get back in the cockpit? Stay tuned.
