not so chicken anymore

Since chickens don't fly in clouds, & because I wlll be ranging much further from the'coop'. I have deleted the Chicken pilot reference from my forum posts. As an IFR pilot I am less of a chicken pilot. IFR training is not for the faint of heart. One must steel their mind against the messages from the middle ear. It is like a deadly game of blind mans bluff, the gauges are guiding us thru the dark. Failing to 'pin the tail' results in death. A steady hand and a quick eye keep things smooth & stable. The reward comes at the MDA, when upon removing the hood, a beautifull row of brilliant runway lights guide me to a safe landing . DaveR
