Its worse when you have to put the spoilers out at 5000 ft. to come down for a ride because that is how the operation makes there money, and you are up with the only one there who can give one, and by the time you get there they have gone up with another comeritial pilot, and have forgoten to tell you

Man, I am so envious!!!!!! I bought a blanik one time, stole the thing, had new covering, O2 bottle, instruments, low time, perfect! Started a club, went to DC in our jet for a couple months, some bonehead in the club destroyed the plane. I should have just kept the thing for myself. Hindsight is 20/20 though.
