Have a safe trip!

I have my certificate for Private Pilot - Airplane Single Engine Land, and obtained it in less than 53 hours of flight time. I'm currently logging time towards my Multi-engine, Instrument, and Commercial ratings. I did most of my training in Cessna 172SP's, model year 1998 and newer with the...

Dave, I appreciate any additional pictures you care to post. C-Pup and your boat the C-Voyager are impressively equipped, and have given me a lot of ideas for winter projects! Thanks again, --Scott
