As I may have mentioned to some,  the FAA in their great wisdom decided, 
after my miserable attempt to perform acrobatics on their runway at North Las 
Vegas a month or two back, that it would be prudent for them to conduct a 
re-evaluation of my qualification to exercise the privilege of my commercial pilots 
certificate.

Therefore, It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce that today I 
have been duely examined by the FAA and have not been found lacking and, 
therefore,  may  continue to exercise the privileges bestowed upon the commercial 
pilot.

I will confess, however, that I did suffer a little apprehension in this 
regard since my pilots certificate is so old that I can hardly read the printing 
on it anymore.  The solution was to search out a very knowlegable CFI with the 
patience to teach an old dog things that he should have known and probably 
did, many moons ago.   I had assumed that the time spent during my biannual 
flight reviews was sufficient to keep me up to speed with all the changing 
requirements.    Not so!!!

Anyway, the point that I am trying to get to is recurrent training.  I was 
sorry to miss out on the opportunity to attend the first recurrent training 
seminar at Redmond.  I hope that it was a success.  Perhaps if others share my 
feeling in this regard, we could persuade Lancair to make it a permanent part of 
their Labor Day activity.

What do you think??

Regards, Bill Hogarty
