Finally, Back Up In The Air

It seems like it has been 10 years since I was last up in the air but in honesty I am not even sure how long it has been, but probably at least couple years. This has all changed over the last couple with a couple flights out of Brookneal Va for training. Jeff Jenson(Instructor)of CuttingEdgeAirSports.com and I have been up twice now for training including one for a dual cross country flight. I need about 6 more hours of dual flying to be done but I have to admit it is great to be back up in the air. Dubose is also getting into the training and only has less then 5 hours of training left. Now we need to get the rest of the guys started so we can all get legal and flying together again. My first 2 flights with Jeff have been in his new machine which is a Powrachute Pegasus with the 912 in it. Very nice machine but I have to admit I love my Buckeye DM and will so happy when I am back flying it. I have a good bit of work to do on it before it can be air worthy again but hopefully a busy weekend with it will take care of that. Joe and I had our wings inspected last week by a certified parachute inspector guy. I am sorry for forgetting his name but if you ever need your chute looked at I can get you his info. Here is a picture of Jeff's machine and another plane that was down at the field doing some training also. Now that we seem to be getting back into flying maybe I will able to update the blog a little more frequently.
