Welcome back, Test Pilot Paul.
No surprise that you continued to push the envelope of achievement & enjoyment while you were away. Glad you've landed back here at RL.

I remember admiring your garage/ landscaping accomplishments & attention to detail with your 993 steering wheel years ago, but this takes it to another level.

Wishing you tail winds & blue skies

Rotax 912's are good engines, should give you lots of reliable hours of flying.

Actually, I meant trying to bribe an Italian official while dressed like that!! I think he only had to spend a couple nights in a Roman prison Of course, we are all just jealous of that amazing adventure!

How nice, hopefully you don't have to ship the Fiat over there? Now that I think about it, maybe the Panda could go as checked baggage

Just a junk rent a car this year. Maybe next summer we'll send a car. I'd like to use something bigger than a 997 next time. Maybe the new supersize 991 would be better than the 997 was. You really need a lot of room for cross continent hauling ...
