Thanks guys. I appreciate your comments. To answer a few questions:

Jeff C. - I could make Nashville with one stop. Probably 5-5.5 hrs.

Jake - Yes, that's the one. It was based in Shreveport.

Jeff H. - I left Flight Safety last Tuesday after my check ride, so it wasn't me last Wednesday.

I will fly with a mentor for 25 hours, since it's my first type rating. The mentor flying is really enjoyable and reassuring after finishing the Flight Safety gauntlet. Looking forward to posting future pireps. Thanks again guys.

We were both there on the 15th...didn't you go back for seconds?? I thought so.

Obviously there were many there, just coincidental we were both there. And Alex was at the Citation center with his 180. Just small world stuff.

That is a nice facility, very professional. I had been there before for 350 recurrent.

Jeff, yes, definitely there on the 15th. Chinese food that day, right? Didn't go back for seconds, though. I thought the Wichita East facility was very nice. Obviously, it's been their Beechcraft site for several years, but now that Textron has made it one happy family, Cessna has moved in. Plus, with the crash at the ICT facility, they scrambled to get a couple sims put together (the Mustang being one of them). Anyhow, I'm looking forward to going back when my recurrent is due. Hope to run into you sometime.

Clint:

Congrats on your post on CJP too! I was just in ICT for the Textron Aviation event. You will love the mustang. It is a great bird.

Clint-----Wow!
I had the thought this morning that I hadn't seen you on Beech Singles page lately, and I guess now I know why!
A perfect match for you---and I'm sure by now, you handle it with ease.
Congratulations

Awesome! Congratulations. :woot:

How did you solve the hangar issue? I assume it won't fit where the Bonanza was.

Congrats Clint, well done sir! :thumbup:

Actually, the Mustang fits in the same hangar the Bonanza was in. It's a twin hangar. I'll probably make a move to a larger hangar at some point, but I'm good for now.
