Mike, I'm an Old Fart who flew back in the 70's and 80's. Every time I watch one of your videos, you inspire me and pump me up to get off my butt and have some fun. I have a friend with a Cessna R182 Skylane. I called him up, said lets fly, so we did! Thanks for inspiring me to get back into something I love to do. God bless and stay safe.
