Mexico race was a complete cluster so I flew home early. $750 plane ticket for 5 miles of racing. I should have just stayed in Boulder and gone flying with you :) Mike Hey Rob,

These is also a CD that's available to down load on a computer so that you can do sim flights on the equipment...not exactly like pressing the soft keys but it helps you locate where to look and press buttons. Guess I'm very lucky, I have the opportunity to fly behind these big screen about one a week or so and it's all free thanks to our tax money and the labor of love called the Civil Air Patrol. The DE Wing has a new C 182T, with about the same time as the plane you flew. This is the first time that I've had the experience of flying a plane with three figures on the hobbs/tach...it sure is a tight feeling ship and fly's very well on the instruments. Hope that you have additional experiences with the "Glass" and do a XC soon...it's a pleasure to fly behind, and easy to find other aircraft in the area with the TIS overlay. Patrick Rob,

Nice to read your stuff again. You've always been a good read in the past and this one is no exception. You mentioned Brenda in this piece and I hadn't heard about her lately. I just kinda thought you guys might have split since she was so involved in the theater back in NJ. Glad you're still together and enjoying the sights out west. Joyce and I have added a new home just about 30-miles east of Lake Okeechobee and we're loving the retired life in central Florida on the "Treasure Coast." They used to call it the "Gold Coast" but I think they thought that was too pretentious or snobbish. There is simply NOTHING in Florida that compares to the vistas out west... and the great mountains. Biggest things we have here are landfills. We also have to settle for burning sugar cane fields for spectacular, eye-tearing vistas. Try flying through that smoke sometimes and see what your plane looks like afterwards! Can't be good for your vacuum instruments (or lungs) for that matter. Cheers, Roger Hey Rob,
