[Rejected by the GG]
'Tis the night before Christmas.
It's foggy and cold.
My instrument rating is
Just six months old.
This miserable weather
Is not a deterrent.
I've flown six approaches,
Done holding, I'm current!
I've flown in the soup,
Just me and the dials,
A fabulous feeling,
Face wreathed in smiles!
Now it's off to the airport
In happy pursuit of a
Clearance northbound,
Tower enroute.
I call for the clearance,
The tower replies:
Clear destination,
But clouds in the skies.
I fire up the engine,
Magnetos on LEFT.
My taxi control is
Balanced and deft.
I run through the checklist
Attention can't flag.
I want no surprises
When we get in the clag.
I check all the gauges,
Program the 430,
Leave nothing to chance
For the weather is dirty.
Now that I'm ready in
Muscle and sinew,
I call up the tower,
Prepared to continue.
The tower is happy
To send me right off,
"One niner right,
Clear to takeoff."
I lock up the canopy,
Turn on the light,
Mixture full rich.
Transponder set right.
Firewall the throttle.
The static is good.
I'm rolling in actual!
The heck with the hood!
I rotate at sixty.
What could be neetah*
Than an IFR ticket and
An IFR Cheetah?
*Some authorities prefer "sweetah."
Happy New Year Everybody (and hope you had a Merry Christmas)!

Hey Jim,
What kind of transponder do you have?
I have my old Narco AT150 (with a fresh overhaul) sitting in my
garage. I was gonna put it up on ebay but if its the same model as
your's maybe that would be less expensive?
My old avionics shop paid $350 to overhaul it after they broke off a
knob on it when they removed it to intall my garmin transponder.

Vi, good news, I was in Lancaster, no that not the good news, the good news
is that I watched Dave laying up the first hole. It looks a lot more complex
than I expected. He is going to send it to me to see if it'll fit into the
cowling. If it does, then I'll send it to you.
