Exclamation Coming Soon. . .

I got approval from the War Department to start helicopter lessons again, so avoid the airspace over Wichita, KS . It will be too dangerous . I'm going to wait until after New Years to start, so there is still some time for safe flying. It will be 3 years since my last lesson.

That is all. Carry on.

I did notice that I could see a lot more open space to land an auto if need be. Although I feel safer when I can see the face of people under me.

Nope, I'm a SME that has not been defined in the reduction rating, so no incentive for me yet. I don't get too many DAL hours.

Yes, but I've still been working many 10 hour days simply doing SME duties, with an hour of DAL thrown in here and there.
