En-Route
Looking forward to these checkouts!
It's always been irritating to get checked out for a rental in something I know pretty well, which I've had to do a few times when on the road. But my next few flights should be a bit more interesting (although not as interesting as learning to drag my tail in the Champ back in September)... I'm booked for some dual in a J-3 at Andover next weekend!
They pretty much only rent it for dual, with the occasional solo for students doing their entire rating in the Cub (I assume Sport), but that's OK... I may continue with them later this year, doing the advanced "bush" course in their Top Cub, and maybe even some work on skis.
There will be plenty of rust to knock off (haven't flown since October), but I'm sure I will have fun. At least I know that airport pretty well, having landed 172s there a few times. And these guys have a stellar reputation.

I've also found a Cessna 140 for rent, and it just happens to be located where I will be working quite a bit in February and March!!
Apparently they will even let me take the 140 solo out of the pattern if I handle it properly... woohoo!!
I'm looking forward to this, as I'm thinking about buying a 140. Good opportunity to see if I really like them.
Wish me luck!
