Every two years we are required to obtain a biennial flight review and get
signed off by a CFI.

Last year I wanted to do the BFR in my Lancair.  The instructor refused as
she was more comfortable in the C-172.  So I did.  That machine sure flies
SSSSSSSLLLLLooooooooooowwwwwwwww.  I think she did it to make more money in
instruction time.  Took about twice as long.

Question?  It has recently occurred to me that I should be taking BFR's in a
complex aircraft and I may not be current in the legal sense.  What say you?

[As long as you meet the currency requirements for the mode of flight as
outlined in the FARs it doesn't matter whether you take your BFR in
a complex or simple airplane.  Some years ago I was temporarily living
in central Wisconsin when my BFR came due... at the time I was mostly
flying complex aircraft (Turbo Arrow, Mooney, etc) but took my BFR with
John Hatz at the Haymeadow Airport in a J3 Cub... it was a hoot and I
got signed off for tailwheel airplanes at the same time.
