Mike, iFly would definitely not be the same without your substantial input over the years.  You were passionate about making this tool better, and we've all benefitted from your efforts.  Thanks very much for your contributions!

Definitely a loss to the forum if you stop posting here.  I hope you do as Walter suggests and continue to be active.

Sad but honest post, Mike...

I think deep down, we all fear the day is coming for us as well...that is what makes it so hard!

Thanks for all your help and postive comments/suggestions here.

If you are ever in Carlisle, PA, give me a shout-out (N714AJ) at the airport -- I'll buy first round!

Mike:

I feel your pain.

I will be 82 soon and after 56 years slipping the slurpy bonds, I have also recognized that it won't be long before I hang up my headset for good.

I have been planeless for several weeks now waiting for a new engine to arrive from Aussie Land and I can see what it will be like not to be able to jump into the left seat again.

This new engine will serve until that day.

To fill my time I have dusted off the old metal detector and am digging coins and hopefully nuggets. This will be my fall back to keep me going. Guess all I will need to complete the old prospector visual is a burro.

Hope you find something to give you the joy you got from flying.

John M
