Wow Vinny, scary story! glad you were able to to take control and land safely!!
Question, did you happen to attend the AOPA Conference in Connecticut a couple weeks ago!? The reason I ask is because I work part time at the Connecticut Convention Center (waiting tables), and the AOPA had a conference there the other week and i was working the saturday night dinner. Its a small world.

Nah, I've never been to any big aviation convention type thingies. Maybe someday the boy and I will make it to Oshkosh, but we'll drive, not fly - too many crazy pilots out there!

Hey be careful. Just because the Rev. is around dosen't mean you have immaculate protection.

Frank ("Vinny") - Thank goodness you made it back on the ground safely! Clouds are definitely "where the wild things are" (see , I even managed to reference your avatar in there) when planes are involved. I can't let Andy see that article. His brother Scott (training to be a pilot) has been trying to get Andy to fly out with him.
