I couldn't say it better myself! That's why my first post included me feeling like a puss. The crash scared me big time. I want to get over this. I flew almost daily and loved it. I feel so chickenchit. I will get in the air again. If I crash again, all bets are off! :D:D

Beautiful plane!!!

Amen to that! I still have yet to see if I can do it again, and then decide if I should be! BTW, if I'm in a second crash, you won't be able to get me off the ground even if you put a bomb under my butt! :yikes:

The cabin looks remarkably intact for the death and serious injury. I guess the engine and mount could have been pushed into the cabin. Good thing there was no fire, at least the kid has a fighting chance now.

W5RAL here. Just mainly talk on 2 meters and 440.

That is a sweet airplane!! Nice price too.

Little Johnny showed up an hour late for school one day and the teacher asked for an explanation. He said " it was because my dad sleeps naked". Of course the teacher was stunned and asked for an explanation. Little Johnny said that late in the evening the chickens started a fuss in the coop so...

Glad you made it back down safe!

My dad threw me off of a dock and yelled swim! LOL! I did the same, was a life guard through part of my college. Did the life guard thing, taught swimming, taught CPR and first responder. It's a good thing! Teaching is great, especially life saving including their own.

The pilot is a hero.

I like listening to the air to air coms of the local F16's here at a local base. Several years ago they were heading out west to do some ACM when one of the birds got several fire lights then the master lit up. He declared and was heading back with one of the others keeping an eye on him. He was...

What skills!!!!! I've only landed helos on solid ground. The Lynx is one awesome aircraft. I cannot imagine why he would land in those conditions, other than being military. They can make you do some crazy stuff. Believe me, I know lol. I am not worthy compared to this dude! (or Dudet)

Thanks a bunch John, great words! I do feel like I can do this. And I feel like such a wimp for it taking this long.

I just talked to Ryan, as you folks said, great guy! I will be doing an intro flight with him soon. If I don't spill out of the aircraft like a pool of jello afterwords, then it is flight school time.

Thanks a bunch guys!

It's only taken me 20 years to give this a shot lol. I do have a friend that flies and I trust him. But he doesn't have a plane right now. I'm close by Ryan, and I think I'll be checking out his operation. Without going into too much detail, what took us down was a midair.

Thanks Dr. Bruce. So if I have another after the physical, I report it, then show that I don't have anymore?

Is there a time trigger on how long ago a stone was? I'm working towards getting into a flight program. My stone is now almost 4 years ago. Is that something that I should do the same with the GP that you advised? I will have to probably pay for an x-ray out of pocket, one was not done on the...

I'm seriously considering my PPL. I have a strong desire to get back into the air, and really need to be able to fly to cover ground between our properties. The problem is that I am chicken-you know what. I haven't flown in decades. The last time that I did, I was involved in a serious crash. I...
