Intro from Scottsdale, AZ
I'm a retired Air Force pilot (RF-4C, F-111D/E and T-37) and after not flying for 10 years, found myself the proud owner of a SportCruiser. Figured I've flown enough at night and in bad weather and now was the time to really enjoy day VFR flying! Recently relocated to Scottsdale and enjoying the flying environment here. Dave

Welcome aboard, Dave F. Glad to have you on the forums. Given your background, I would urge you to take a rigorous LSA transition course (see http://avsport.org/about/downsize.htm for a sample curriculum). These little planes are a different world from what you're accustomed to flying.
Curious about your RF-4C days. Where and when? (I'm a former Wild Weasel -- electronicker, not nose gunner.) In any case, thanks for your service.
Safe skies,
Paul

RF days ...
Paul
I was a back seater in RFs at shaw and then Kadena ... then got into pilot training and into the F-111. Anyway have about 90 hours in the SC and enjoying it ... the 'speed' is about the only thing I miss

Nice to meet a fellow GIB, Dave. My home base was Osan, during the Pueblo fiasco.

Welcome to the board AZ / Dave F.
I've been flying the PiperSport / SportCruiser for about a year and a half now
(3 planes on the line at the flight school where I fly.) Great aircraft!
Guess it's a little slow compared to the F4 though.
I'm in awe of all you guys!!
