Re: Friday night GFI
It was a good flight! Sorry that Rick crashed out on departure, but it was nice to get back in the Mad Dog for a short hop. Thanks for watching!

Re: Friday night GFI
Thanks for recording the GFI but I must beg to differ...."cutting-it-close"? I think it was a well timed and executed maneuver. When you turned base and flew across my nose we had 5mi (or something around there 
) of separation. And when I made my turn to final we had...huh....3,4,5 mile....or somewhere close to that...separation. It was with skill and precision that I executed such a wonderful maneuver. 
Anyway it was a fun GFI (except for Rick's unfortunate event). It would be even better if we had more AAV pilots flying with us. Then my precision would truly be tested and appreciated.
