Super cool! We had a B-25 stop in for fuel at my airport once but as luck would have it I was at work and missed it.

He’s the one who got us into this mess lol

Fun fact: the acceleration of the water and air on your side of the curtain causes a lower pressure which sucks the curtain in. This is essentially the same principle that allows airplanes to fly. Doesn’t help the cling wrap but it’s neat to think about 🤣

If you have the option to get one with cellular, do it. I thought I’d be slick and save $50 by going non-cellular. Then I found out they don’t have GPS and had to buy a separate Bluetooth GPS unit for it which was more than $50 and now I have another device to charge 🙃

Unfortunately it’s mostly just memorization when it comes to airspace. With time and repetition you’ll get it! And please reach out if you have any questions. I’d be more than happy to help you out.

That it does!

I’ve not done it myself but I know of a couple people who have. It’s possible to make money doing it, but when you factor in the wear and tear of student pilots learning to fly in it and the loss of freedom that likely drove your decision to buy in the first place, it’s not all it’s made out to be.

And then gets mad because the plane doesn’t have a blinker for them not to use… 🤣

Have you already applied for a medical? If not, you are still almost certainly eligible to fly Light Sport Aircraft. There’s a handful of limitations but the sky is still an option! Best of luck to you and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
