Not a problem about me staying away from weather. I spent years flying attack helicopters. There is no mission that requires them to fly in IMC. Inadvertant IMC yes, but not deliberately. I spent those 7 years always quoting, "its better to be down here wishing to be up there than to be up there wishing to be down here."
I also have a "scam" I am trying to run to get me a "personal MEI." I know of a retired civil service pilot that flew C-12s out of Ft. Rucker for a longtime. I'll offer him the use of my plane to get "checked" out as an MEI in it. Then will go up with him and get his 5 hours of PIC in it so he can instruct me. I may pay for it by just letting him have access to the plane anytime that I'm not using it. All I will be out is hours on the plane and gas. Hopefully, I should know more by this weekend. KD
