I'm with you, Tim. I was diagnosed hypertensive at 24. 168/108 bp, stroke range. I was looking at death at 24, scary stuff. Lost 50 lbs, I'm now at 130/85.

Do it!

Glad you came through all right and yes it is scary. I just got home from the hospital thursday, another heart attack and I have to lose some weight, lower my sugar level and the hardest, the cigarettes. Just take it one day at a time and you should be just fine but do what they tell you to do!!!!!

Ya I will I flew today for the first time since it happened and i was really nervous. Picked my tiger moth to fly and had no problems with it. I am flying full scale with my instructor thursday to see a B-17 and 24 (collings foundation)) About 60 miles each way I cant fly alone until Im given the ok

Hi Tim and Art... I really hope every thing goes ok with you two from here on out healthwise.
Tim... I read where you are going to see the B17 and the Liberator. It has to be the Nine'O'Nine and The Dragon and his Tail. They came to Birmingham about 3 months ago and MAN!!! What a sight!! I was about 30 foot from them when they fired up their engines to take the paying customers on a 30 minute ride. It was sight and sound I'll never forget.
Now.... if you and Art where good people, you would buy me a ride on either one( it doesnt matter which plane you want to pay for!!) for my birthday next time they come to town-- its only $350. I'll let you know when they come back to B'ham !!!! LOL And my birthday is in November.
Here's praying and best wishes to the both of you for a speedy recovery. John

They are charging 400.00 here! Doc told me I cant fly real until all my tests are in any blinking light or metal reflection colud trigger a relapse. Im bummed out

I bet ya those planes will be heading to oshkosh in a few days, cant wait!!!!

You can get a tour for 8:00 at Saginaw on Sunday and a ride for400.00. You can get a ride ijn a 1943 stinson for 35.00 but doc told me no full scale flying till tests come out. It sucks cause I had alrerady paid for a B-17 ride!!

A ride for $400, the B-24 and the B-17 are sitting about 3 miles from me. Can I get a ride in either of them for the $? How long is the ride? I would gladly shell out the $ to be able to do it just one time.

The B-17 in Saginaw is giving rides call Tom at 989-797-6123. I dont know if the weather is putting a damper on things!!

rides are 30 minutes long

Rode the B-17 got to rotalte all crew positions in flight. The radio compartment window was removed got to stick my head out in flight! What an experience
