Jeff...

Yes, there are times here when we might fly 5 as well. However, I'm guessing yours are like here where they would be spread out of an entire day instead of a 2-3 hour trip to the field. Therefore your brain has time to relax and process the previous flights, so even though you are flying 5 times or more, instead of 4, your brain has had time recouperate between flights..

Hi Arch . .

I think you're right. Any mid week sessions I fly (after work) are usually 2 or 3 flights. Due to the time constraint and because nobody else is at the field, they are almost one after the other and any more flights serves nothing but burning up resources (as you say) . .

The flights on the weekend are over the course of the day. We have turbines pilots at the field that would cut us in half if flew flight after flight (have you ever tried to practice a schedule while a jet is in the air [:@]).

Oh . . I forgot the main ingredient . . PASSION (goes without saying really). Without that, all the rest doesn't matter (maybe why my front garden doesn't look as good as the neighbors ).

Cheers, Jeff B
