Bruce

I will say the week before Bruce, I went over the plane with a fine tooth comb.
After a week of prayer by a lot of friends the night before I did not get a lot of sleep. You hope for a great day and Just before I pulled on to the runway I was the most anxious and said "Lordy Lordy, here we go!
I did not do a high speed taxi check so the first thing was to watch the engine parameters and then see that the airspeed had come alive, by this time I said golly were already airborne
I climbed up fast above pattern altitude, were lucky at the Jasper Airport to have limited access road just off to the right that you could glide to at about 300 feet.
I really thought about all the problems that could arise and try to make plans for it.
Bruce, your doing a great job... Hope to read about you flying soon!
