I don't know if I am alone on this subject, But, I started off in the 80s with getting my PPL, went through 80% of my instrument training and then had to stop...I had a family, I gave up flying to raise my family. Today, I went up with my CFI in the eastern sierras, KMEV for the BFR. I have been studying for months, all the FARs, FAA Wings programs, and technology changes that have occurred in the last 22 years. My CFI started in the 80s also and was impressed with my knowledge of taking out the sectional chart and using that. Flying again for me was like riding a bike, amazing and very exciting like my first solo, but it just felt natural. He signed off on the BFR and was satisfied with the flying aspect of all the required Checks. I will go up with him a few more times just to make sure I am totally up to date and safe. Just thought I would share ;-)
