Status: online 		I have had a little (snicker) change since my last post. I officially retired as of 1 October 2007. Best part of retirement: Mondays are no longer dreaded. Worst part of retirement: Saturdays ain't any better than Mondays. It's good to live here in Florida. The days are mostly all good for flying.

I've already been getting calls from people who own their own businesses, wanting me to become their Operations Manager. I'm holding them at bay, but I'm getting weaker by the offer. I might consider a part time setup.

Status: offline 		I am a cropduster pilot. It is my off season right now so I am looking for a cropduster kit to build this winter. I would like an AGCAT since that is what I started in ten years ago but any will do. Anyone know where I can find a kit?
