    Returning to Flying

    Just a quick update in case anyone cares (lol). I got in two flights with two different instructors at two different airports over the last couple of days (ORD and BED). In my opinion and apparently the opinion of the instructors, it all came back very quickly. On my way home from the first...

    Which Aircraft

    Thanks. I would of course take transition training (plenty of it) prior to flying an RV, etc. Not sure about the building at this point, it is more of a dream than anything. I will say though that I have now flown twice over the last couple of days (in the end it was in a 172) and I am once...
