Exellent way to bring in the new year...! 
Owed many cases of beer on this one. First time in the King Air.
First time at that altitude, (14,500) First time at a boogie,
First time in an eight way (Well almost, didnt quite track down very well)
First time on a titty flight... (Thanks Ladies..!, Love this sport)

New PD 190 worked flawlessly. Having the extra air time sure does help to 
gain confidence and experience. Much better on my flips, rolls, and turns.
Started working on tracking and docking. Was a real kick to watch relative 
work in action from above.

Did not get to Eloy over the Holidays, sorry to hear about the loss. Doesnt 
sit well with us new guys hearing these things. Several reserve ride were made
(not by myself) but no major incidents. My next purchase will be a dyter. Then
probably a sentinel aad. I want ALL the safety features.

Will have a tough time getting back into a cessna for that LONG ride up after
the 7 minute trip in the King Air. Many thanks to Mike Mullins.

Happy New Year.
