Wow. Excellent outcome!!

I have owned my Seneca II&1/2 (II with III engine conversion-220hp) for 15 years. And the number one reason I love my Seneca over all others in its class of twins is: turbo. As far as engine troubles go, I had two engine failures and one engine smoke in the past, all in-flight, and in twins...

I can tell by the tone of your post, you will do just fine flying a Seneca or any other airplane. No other GA airplane has made me feel safer than my Seneca. Enjoy your twin training!

After doing your homework, if you feel good about it, then that is all that matters.:) But, I am one of those (few?) who will not consider buying an airplane with damage history like that. And, I will recommend the same to my friends in the buying market. Good luck!

Samantha is in good place now. And, you will meet her again. I know I will meet my Juggy (Forever Our Super Cat) THE RAINBOW BRIDGE POEM “Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow...

Years ago, my colleague used to show off a picture of his Piper Cherokee Six, calling her his “mistress”. He stayed married, and kept the house, though one may say: “there were three of us in this marriage, so it was bit crowded”.

Over the decades, I have learned and met many pilots who “think” they know more and better, telling others how to do (every)thing the right way. The only thing I’ve learned from them is to just drop them all together.

Gary, A free shuttle runs from the airport to the downtown area and the other parts of the island. Ivy Manor Inn (B&B) is classy and has character. Cocktails at Bar Harbor Inn are relaxing. Blueberry pancakes at Jordan’s are a must. It is a beautiful island.

I say it again, I am very appreciative of your thread FastEddieB! It was not my intent to hijack your thread. But, because of your thread, I am getting some excellent advice from fellow members here. So, please excuse me, and thank you for your thread at the same time.

OK, after riding only two miles this afternoon, I am totally convinced that I MUST go buy some padded underwear!

I cannot even sit still in an economy class seat from NYC to Chicago :p

Are you telling me those expensive bikes don’t come with “comfort ride” cushy saddles? :eek:

Nope! No way!! Absolutely Not!!! Never, ever will I wear one of those sausage casing-like, tight-fit crazy-colored graffiti outfits!! I must draw a line there :cool:

Why not? People are doing touch and goes (no landing fees in this case) at NYC airports (EWR, JFK, LGA). But, if you park and dine, landing and parking fee could turn $100 hamburger into $500 reuben, a greasy landing followed by a greasy sandwich.

Runners and cyclists often do not get along on the road; I never liked them :rolleyes: (had numerous bad experiences on the road). But now, I cannot believe I am actually going to take a look into biking (not those fast moving road biking though, it does not seem that safe around here on NYC...

Hi FastEddieB, It was not my intent to hijack your thread. But, because of your thread, I am getting some excellent advice from fellow members here. So, please excuse me, and thank you for your thread at the same time. Hi MacFly, It turned out to be a very difficult day for me today. After...

Hi MacFly, Thank you very much for your reply. I just did a quick google search on running after the arthroscope...I must admit that I am feeling a bit down now. Only reason I decided to go through with the procedure was so that I could return to running (even happy with just "jogging" at...

Thanks for sharing the info. Congratulations on your 100% recovery! Happy Flying!

Ok, our favorite smoked bluefish dip trip was cancelled today. I went fishing in the rocky sea in the foggy weather all day yesterday. After the successful black sea bass trip, drinks and cigars along with fishermen’s stories (lies) followed well into the night at the marina slip. When I...

Hi FastEddieB, How are you recovering? I did mine a day after yours on June 3rd. I did not need any painkillers after the surgery. I was able to walk normally two days after the procedure, but my doctor told me not to run (slow, but I am a runner) for five weeks. My knee still feels a bit...
