Early on (the first two to three years), I'd notice a decline in my abilities if I couldn't fly for two to three weeks, and I'd almost have to start from square one each spring. [&o]

Now I seem able to pick things up pretty quickly in the spring, and can go more than a month and get over the "edginess" within a flight or two.

I now use Real Flight during the winter months and that helps a great deal in keeping my fingers limber.
