Ed,
Why not get your BFR in your airplane?
It seems sort of silly to have to rent a factory aircraft to get a BFR
when the rest of the time you will be flying a much higher performance
aircraft.

Snip

Every two years I have to fly behind a reciprocating engine for my BFR and
it takes me a while to stop thinking about those pistons and connecting rods
trying to tear themselves apart and concentrate on the refresher training.
